Legit nobody has me lol two-year-old sara lives in a home where the family has a german shepherd. sara knows the word doggie. one day, when sara is outside with her mother, she sees a labrador retriever and says, "doggie." sara is learning to apply the process of a. syntax development. b. accommodation. c. overextension. d. assimilation.

The correct answer is D. Assimilation occurs when a person uses what he or she already knows and applies it to a new situation.

The correct answer is "D. Assimilation".

Assimilation alludes to a piece of the adaptation procedure at first proposed by Jean Piaget. Through assimilation, we take in new data or encounters and consolidate them into our current thoughts. The procedure is to some degree abstract since we will in general alter involvement or data to fit in with our prior convictions.  

Assimilation assumes an imperative job in how we we find out about our general surroundings. In early adolescence, youngsters are continually assimilating new data and encounters into their current learning about the world.
