Little mikey is only three years old, and he has a black and white kitty at home that he calls "kitty." while on his first camping trip with mommy and daddy, little mikey sees a skunk for the first time. he smiles, reaches out, and says, "kitty, kitty, kitty." but then the skunk sprays him. and little mikey runs to mommy. mommy explains that that was not at nice kitty but a bad skunk. little mikey -- stinky but wiser -- now knows the difference between a kitty and a skunk. this new understanding -- that a skunk is different than a kitty -- can be best understood in terms of piaget’s concept of:

Accommodation                                                                

Explanation:

Accommodation: In psychology, the term accommodation was given by the psychologist named Jean Piaget in his theory of cognitive development.

Hence, the person changes the formerly existing schema rather than making new schema to fit into existing schema to accommodate with the new experience or information.

In the question above, the statement signifies Piaget's concept of accommodation.
