Question

Sylvester has just learned how to pick up his cat named Chester, who likes to be picked up and does not put up any struggle. Later, Sylvester tries to pick up another cat named Thai, who scratches when held. The fact that Sylvester learns to leave Thai alone after he has been scratched provides a good example of _________.a. animism.

b. habituation.
c. centration.
d. accommodation.

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term 'accommodation' in psychology was developed by Jean Piaget. The term was used as part of the adaptation process.

In psychology, the term accommodation is used to refer to the modifying of existing schemas because of new information gained. In this process of adaptation and gaining of new information new schemas also begin to develop.

In the given case, Sylvester's a new schema of picking up his cat Chester was modified when he had a difficulty in picking up the other cat named Thai. With this new experience gained, Sylvester's process of adaptation was developed.

So, the correct answer is option D.
