Equilibración cognitiva y equilibrio cognitivola perspectiva de la Escuela de Ginebra

Resum

The evolution of cognitive equilibration used in the School of Geneva is studied. After analysing the role of assimilation/accommodation in the possible forms of equilibration within the framework of factic sciences, the properties that exclusively belong to cognitive equilibration are put forward. Next, the adaptative process is defined as the equilibrium between its assimilative and accommodative poles, emphasizing the interactive nature of assimilation and accommodation. The equilibrium is featured by the reciprocal conservations of the processes, and it is shown how these conservations can be considered under three aspects. Each aspect should lead to a qualitatively different cognitive equilibration. Finally, with the sliding of the interest from the structures to the procedures within the School of Geneva, there is a change in the conceptualization of equilibrium. As a consequence of it, the new possibilities of equilibration of cognitive schemes (presentative, procedural and operational) are shown.
