Solution

This is an example of assimilation. In Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, assimilation is the process where a child uses existing knowledge to understand new situations or objects. In this case, Iris is using her existing knowledge of a four-legged animal (a dog) to understand a new four-legged animal (a cow).
