Examples of schema

One example of schema studied by Piaget is the grasping schema. Many objects in the child’s environment are assimilated to the grasping schema (rather than to the sucking schema or kicking schema), and the grasping schema accommodates to allow grasping of objects in shapes and sizes that have not been experienced before. Provide an example of a schema that an adult might have. Provide examples of situations where objects or ideas would be assimilated to this schema and examples of situations in which the schema might accommodate.
