Answer:
e) assimilation; accommodation.
Explanation:
Psychologist Jean Piaget in his theory of cognitive development describes how knowledge is created by humans using their prior knowledge and the surrounding environment. He explained knowledge is ever-evolving from its prior state. The process of assimilation is the adaptation of the new knowledge to our existing knowledge base but assimilation, where our environment plays a great role, is the modification of the prior knowledge to adjust a new concept to fit in.
Interpretation of new ideas and experiences to fit in existing schemas of a person is assimilation. Adjusting our cognitive framework to fit new information is accommodation.
Assimilation is the process of completely absorbing the new information and merge it with the existing theories. Assimilation is processed before accommodation.
Assimilation is modifying new information, whereas accommodation is restructuring the information.
Example: When a child sees a spherical object, he calls it a football, the process of accommodation then allows the child to adjust his schema to incorporate the knowledge that some spherical objects are basketball.
Therefore, option 'e', 'assimilation; accommodation' is correct.
