Answer:

Accommodation.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is explained that this learning process was put to place and well detailed by Jean Piaget who explained this term to be the part of the adaptation process. Saying that its processes involves altering one's existing schemas, or ideas, as a result of new information or new experiences. Also new schemas may also be developed during this process.

This act can be easily found to be in children and also some animals often. A child may have an existing schema for dogs. Now, it is seen that she knows that dogs have four legs, so she might automatically believe that all animals with four legs are dogs. When she later learns that cats also have four legs, she will undergo a process of accommodation in which her existing schema for dogs will change and she will also develop a new schema for cats.
