Question

A two-year-old child's family has a pet dog. the child visits the neighbor's house and sees their pet dog. even though the neighbor's dog is larger and a different color the child points to it and says "dog." which of piaget's processes does this demonstrate?

Answer 1

The two year old child is under Paiget’s cognitive process of assimilation. The child has created a schema of his dog in his mind that a dog is something that looks like an animal with four legs that walk on them and barks. Since the neighbor’s dog looks the same despite the difference in size and color, the child assumes that that too is a dog.
