Question

Four-year-old Dino was looking at his alphabet book. He was so excited that he recognized many of the letters

that he shouted, "Mom! Mom, look at these letters. I know some of them!" As he pointed to the letters he
recognized, he failed to turn the book to her so she, too, could see where he was pointing. According to Piaget,
Dino demonstrated _____ when he did not turn the book to where his Mom could see.
a) formal operations thinking
b) symbolic function
c) hypothetico-deductive reasoning
d) egocentrism

Answer 1

d) egocentrism

Step-by-step explanation:

Egocentrism is a term that is being widely used in psychology and was discovered by Jean Piaget in his theory of cognitive development. It is referred to as an individual's inability to comprehend or understand that some other person's opinion or viewpoint can be different from his or her own. However, egocentrism determines a cognitive bias, in a way that an individual is not able to think that another person can have his or her own perception regarding different things.

The correct answer is egocentrism.
