Answer:
According to Piaget, accommodation occurs when individuals adjust their schemas to new information (letter A).
Explanation:
According to psychologist Jean Piaget, accommodation takes place when we change our schemas (ideas) after receiving new information, in order to accommodate it. An example of accommodation would be as follows:
A child has a schema about what a dog is. It is a furry animal that has a tail and walks on its four legs. One day, this child sees a cat, which has similar characteristics to the ones included in the schema for a dog. As the child points at it and says, "Dog!" and adult corrects her, telling her it is a cat. The adult proceeds to telling the child the cat meows while the dog barks. Now, the child changes her schema concerning what a dog is in order to accommodate this new piece of information. A dog is furry, has a tail, walks on four legs, and barks.
