That is what a child does when she creates a new category for an animal that she has never seen before. In Hope's case, she knew what a cat was and had a schema associated to it. However, when she realizes the animal she is looking at is different from a cat - it hops and it doesn't purr -, she must create a new category for it to accommodate it. The new animal represents new information that does not fit the previous schema. Hope must now create the category "rabbit".
