A) Accommodation
B) Acquisition
C) Assimilation
D) Attainment

Answer 1

Answer:C) Assimilation

Explanation:

Assimilation is the process that was proposed by Jean Piaget which refers to how we absorb new information and relate it to our pre-existing ideas.

There is a tendency somehow of us adjusting the new information in order to go along with what we already know.

This is how we keep understanding the world around us as we continue learning new information and relating it to what we already know this occurs from when we are born until we die.

In the process of assimilation children grasp the world around them by trying to fit their experiences into reality
