A child has learnt many things in his or her way with younger sibling by using physical intimidation. If he/she uses the same tactics on peer, this indicates

Correct option is B

Assimilation refers to the process by which a child applies an existing scheme (in this case, using physical intimidation learned with a sibling) to a new situation (with peers). The child is incorporating new experiences into already existing cognitive structures without changing them.
Information Booster: · Assimilation involves fitting new experiences into existing knowledge frameworks.
· It demonstrates that the child is using a familiar strategy in a new context, without altering their approach.
· Assimilation is one of the key components of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.
· Over time, if the strategy doesn't work, the child might need to adjust, which leads to accommodation.
Additional Knowledge:
Social Learning: Refers to learning by observing others and imitating their behavior, usually emphasized in Bandura’s Social Learning Theory. This is not the case here, as the child is repeating their own behavior rather than imitating someone else.
Equilibrium: Refers to a state of cognitive balance when a child’s existing knowledge aligns with new experiences. It is not directly related to using intimidation.
Accommodation: Refers to modifying existing cognitive structures to accommodate new information or experiences. In this scenario, the child is not adjusting their behavior yet, hence it doesn't indicate accommodation.
