Individuals who use the assimilation process in developing their schemas use their existing schemas in a new way to understand and respond to new information or experiences. They do not necessarily develop entirely new schemas, but modify and adapt their existing ones to fit with the new information. Choice A and D are not accurate because developing entirely new schemas and constantly changing schemas are not necessarily indicative of using the assimilation process. Choice C is a characteristic of individuals who use the accommodation process, not assimilation.
