Question:

According to Piaget's theory, describe egocentrism in preoperational thinkers.

Author: Ahmad Danial



Answer:

Egocentrism is the inability to see objects and events from other's perspectives. Preoperational thinkers tend to believe that everyone sees the world as they do, and they ignore the possibility that other perspectives exists. For example, preoperational children will gift gifts that THEY would enjoy, such as a stuffed animal, ignoring the fact that they are giving these to an adult.
