Answer:

Accommodation

Explanation:

Accommodation: The term accommodation is given by one of the famous psychologist Jean Piaget. He described the process that occurs when new experience or information causes a person to modify his or her existing schemas. Instead of making the new experience or information fit into an existing or already present schema, the person changes the schema to accommodate the new experience or information.

Example:

For a girl, a horse is a four-legged animal, huge, and having a long tail. The first time when she sees a cow, the girl calls it a horse because that fits in with the girl's current schema.
