Question

Cooper, a teaching assistant, is demonstrating how the eye is constantly adjusting its focus in a small group session. He has his students close one eye and look at a point on the wall while holding a pencil at arm's length. As they continue to look at the point on the wall, he asks them to move the pencil closer. They notice that it becomes more blurry. Then, when they shift to looking at the pencil, the point on the wall becomes blurry. What process is Cooper demonstrating?

Answer 1

Accommodation

Explanation:

Accommodation is the procedure of the eye to change its focus from near to distant. It has been achieved by the changes of the lens shape. It is an adjustment of the eye according to the optics an object in focusing on the retina as its distance varies from the eye. It is an adjustment of focal eye length. Scopes an instrument that is used to peer into the eye. It also works as a reflex action. All human beings, animals, reptiles used their optical lens and adjust it according to their comfort level. When human beings accommodate their eyes to the near objects then they converge their lenses inside but when they accommodate their eye to the farthest thing they expand their pupil according to their comfort level.

Answer 2

Accommodation

Step-by-step explanation:

Accommodation: The term is given by Piaget's in his theory of cognitive development. The theory describes the process that occurs when new information hinders the pre-existing schemas. So, a child accommodates the new information by changing the pre-existing schemas rather than making a piece of new information to fit into it.

Example: For a child, a horse and a cow are the same as when he compares both of them by analyzing a tail and four legs.
