Marcy was 3 years old when she went to the zoo for the first time. She saw her first
leopard and called it a "kitty." Her mother responded, "that is a leopard, which looks
like a kitty but is much bigger and has spots." The next time Marcy saw a leopard, she
said "leopard!" This is an example of Piaget's notion of
assimilation
accommodation
concepts
schemas
