Harry first acquired the schema doggie by playing with a golden retriever.
Seeing a collie, Harry called it doggie, illustrating assimilation, or fitting new information into an existing schema or mental category.
Seeing a lamb, Harry also called it doggie.  However a lamb is not a dog so Harry will have to accommodate and learn a new concept.
