Answer:

A. Accommodation

Read Explanation:

Accommodation

  • In Piaget's view, cognitive development is the combined result of the development of the brain and the nervous system, and of experiences that help the individual adapt to his or her environment.

  • To explain the process of cognition, Piaget used several new terms like schemata, assimilation, accommodation, adaptation, and equilibration. 

  • In cognitive theory, the process by which the cognitive structure is changed and modified is known as accommodation. 

  • It refers to the process by which a person adjusts or changes his or her schema to incorporate aspects of an experience. 

  • In other words, it means modifying one's strategies or concepts as a result of the assimilation of new experiences or information. .

  • So when the baby changes the way he holds his hand as he reaches for round objects as opposed to square ones, he has accommodated them. 

  • Changing one's concept of leadership after talking to several people with leadership potential is also an act of accommodation.
