Answer 1

egocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean Piaget has given the theory of cognitive development that occurs in an individual's life in which he has mentioned four different stages including sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.

Egocentrism: According to Piaget's theory the term "egocentrism" reflects in the preoperational stage. It is defined as the tendency of a child to look for a situation from the other person's view rather he or she believes that whatever he or she feels is the reality and correct.

While encountering egocentrism, a child feels that whatever he or she feels, hears, or sees that another person has the same perspective.

In the question above, the given statement exemplifies the Piaget's concept of "egocentrism"
