Harry learns the schema for a “dog” by playing with his golden retriever.  On a trip to a farm, he sees a
collie and  points, saying “Doggie!” Then he notices a lamb, and says “Doggie!”  Explain Harry’s schema
using Piaget’s concepts of assimilation and accommodation.

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.
