Explanation:

A hierarchy is a system where items are ranked or organized in levels. Here, starting with the general category (canines) and then moving to more specific categories (different dog species) fits the definition of a hierarchy. Accommodation is a cognitive process of modifying existing schemas. A heuristic is a mental shortcut. A personal schema is a mental framework about oneself.
