Answer:
Assimilation
Explanation:
Jean Piaget was a psychologist who developed a theory of cognitive development, according to which people go through different stages in their cognitive development starting since birth and until adolescence. In each stage the mental processes become more and more logic and abstract.
One of the processes that Piaget defined was the process of assimilation. Through assimilation we can take in new information from the world and incorporate in our already existing ideas or schemes. In other words, we fit new information into things that we already know.
In this example, Zara has the tendency of fitting all four-legged animals into her existing conception of a kitten. We can see that Zara already has an idea of what a kitten is and <u>she is taking in the new information (the new four-legged animals she sees) and fitting them into the scheme of kitten she already know.</u> Therefore, this illustrates the process of assimilation.

This is the encoding stage, the first stage when we receive external input for memory. This can come in the form of visual stimuli, acoustic stimuli and semantic meaning of the event, it is when the situation is going on and the brain/mind is making sense of it, if there is no such event there cannot be an experience to think about in the future. At least semantic meaning must be coupled with the stimuli as we have to ascribe a meaning to the situations we come across, and in some, if not most cases, the three forms are coupled to form the basis of memory.
The other stages are storage and retrieval. The storage stage is related to how long, how well and how a given event interacts with other events in one's life. The last stage is the retrieval stage which is when we try to remember a given stuation.
