Correct option is D


Jean Piaget used the term schema to describe cognitive structures that help individuals organize and interpret information. Schemas evolve through processes like assimilation and accommodation as a person interacts with their environment.

· Assimilation: Incorporating new information into existing schemas.
· Accommodation: Adjusting schemas to fit new information.
Additional Knowledge:
