Jonas knew that animals with fur, pointy ears, a tail, four legs, and that say "woof" are called "dogs" by his parents. He saw a
new animal and thought it was a dog until it "meowed." Jonas's parents said this was a "cat." Jonas could now distinguish between dog and cat depending on the sound the animal made. This revision of Jonas's schema of a "dog" best illustrates:a. assimilation. b. accommodation.
c. formal operations.
d. object permanence.
Explanation: "Accommodation is a term developed by psychologist Jean Piaget to describe what occurs when new information or experiences cause you to modify your existing schema." (Provided by study.com)
