Cooper, a teaching assistant, is demonstrating how the eye is constantly adjusting its focus in a small group session. He has his students close one eye and look at a point on the wall while holding a pencil at arm's length. As they continue to look at the point on the wall, he asks them to move the pencil closer. They notice that it becomes more blurry. Then, when they shift to looking at the pencil, the point on the wall becomes blurry. What process is Cooper demonstrating?

Accommodation: The term is given by Piaget's in his theory of cognitive development. The theory describes the process that occurs when new information hinders the pre-existing schemas. So, a child accommodates the new information by changing the pre-existing schemas rather than making a piece of new information to fit into it.

Example: For a child, a horse and a cow are the same as when he compares both of them by analyzing a tail and four legs.
