What is the term that describes how learning builds on previous knowledge and how we organize it?

Formal Operational (Piaget)
Psychological Constructivism
Sensorimotor (Piaget)
Schemas

The correct answer is: Psychological Constructivism

Psychological Constructivism is a term that describes how learning is built upon previous knowledge and how we organize it. This theory suggests that individuals actively construct their knowledge and understanding through experiences and interactions with their environment. Option A (Formal Operational) refers to a developmental stage in Piaget's theory, rather than a description of learning processes. Option C (Sensorimotor) also refers to a specific stage in Piaget's theory, which focuses on the development of physical and cognitive skills in infants. Option D (Schemas) refers to mental structures that help us organize and interpret new information, but does not fully encompass the concept of how learning builds upon previous knowledge. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and comprehensive answer to the question.
