Which process occurs when new information is integrated into existing knowledge and handled through established behaviours?

Correct answer: Assimilation. In Piaget’s theory, assimilation fits new information into existing schemas without changing them.

• Socialization: Socialization is learning the norms of a society.
• Adaptation: Adaptation is the broader process that includes both assimilation and accommodation.
• None of these: “None of these” is incorrect because assimilation is correct.
