a. interpreting new experiences in terms of one's current understanding.

Explanation:

Assimilation: In psychology, the term assimilation was given by a famous Swiss psychologist named Jean Piaget who has introduced the theory of cognitive development.

Assimilation is defined as an individual's cognitive process which is responsible for managing new information and therefore incorporating the managed information into his or her pre-existing knowledge or schema.
