| - | Assimilation theory is one of the [[learning_paradigms:cognitivism#learning_theories|cognitivist learning theories]] developed by an American educational psychologist [[http://www.davidausubel.org/|David Ausubel]] during 1960s. According to Ausubel, **learner's cognitive structure is central to learning**. Cognitive structure is, in his own words "hierarchically organized in terms of **highly inclusive concepts under which are subsumed less inclusive subconcepts and informational data**". Learning, according to Ausubel's theory, occurs through **development of new cognitive structures** that will hold newly acquired information. | + | Assimilation theory is one of the [[learning_paradigms:cognitivism#learning_theories|cognitivist learning theories]] developed by an American educational psychologist [[http://www.davidausubel.org/|David Ausubel]] during 1960s.
