Answer:

Accomodation

Explanation:

Jean Piaget would say that Craig’s new way of thinking about nests is an example of <u>accomodation</u>.

Accomodation according to Jean Piaget is the ability of an individual to modify existing cognitive schemas as a result of new information gotten. The ability of Craig to now accept and change his thinking that squirrels also leave in nest because of the information/knowledge he got from his dad is termed accomodation.
