Question

question 2 of 10
you thought you hated thai food, but when you tried it, you found you really like it. this is an example of:

a. assimilation.

b. observational learning.

c. accommodation.

d. schemas.

Explanation:

In psychology (subfield of Social Science), accommodation is adjusting existing cognitive schemas when new information (trying Thai food, realizing you like it contrary to prior belief) doesn’t fit old schemas. Assimilation is fitting new info into existing schemas, observational learning is learning by watching others, and schemas are mental frameworks—none match as well as accommodation here.

Answer:

C. accommodation.
