*Assimilation* - Correct Answer-taking in experiences that fit existing schema and
interpreting them in light of that organization
*Accommodation* - Correct Answer-modifying existing schema to accommodate new,
novel, or different experiences that do not fit into my existing schema; may explain the
process of therapeutic change

beliefs; not always critically examined
*Cognitive Distortions* - Correct Answer-systematic errors, misinterpretations of events
that are linked to maladaptive schema and their coexistent rules of feeling and behavior
Predictibility - Correct Answer-people want _______________ over solutions, because
it informs them about how the world works; the role of a clinician is to guide the client to
making their own solutions
Core Beliefs - Correct Answer-*Cognitive distortions* are ways of processing
