Answer:

A simple cognitive system

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a young child they haven't had the time to learn more therefore their system is more basic. Knowing this Elena must think since she calls her dad "daddy" she assumes every man is that way since she most likely hasn't learned that they aren't all the same.
