Anna is a young child whose only experience with dogs is her pet Labrador, Frank, a very large black dog. When she sees a Yorkshire (a very small type of dog) for the first time, she excitedly yells to her father, “Look at the furry kitty!” Anna’s father interjects, “No, Anna, hear his bark and see his shiny black nose? Dogs bark, and that nose looks like Frank’s nose, just smaller.” Soon afterward, seeing another Yorkshire, Anna says, “Look at the furry doggy!” Describe this learning experience in Piagetian terms, using the correct vocabulary.
