Detailed explanation-1: -Egocentrism refers to the child’s inability to see a situation from another person’s point of view. The egocentric child assumes that other people see, hear, and feel exactly the same as the child does. In the developmental theory of Jean Piaget, this is a feature of the preoperational child.
Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget argued that children’s cognitive development occurs in stages (Papalia & Feldman, 2011). Specifically, he posited that as children’s thinking develops from one stage to the next, their behavior also changes, reflecting these cognitive developments.
Detailed explanation-3: -Egocentrism: Egocentrism in early childhood refers to the tendency of young children not to be able to take the perspective of others, and instead the child thinks that everyone sees, thinks, and feels just as they do.
Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget believed that children remain egocentric throughout the preoperational stage. This means they cannot understand that other people think in different ways to them or that events that take place are not always related to them.
Detailed explanation-5: -Egocentrism is the inability to differentiate between self and other. More specifically, it is the inability to accurately assume or understand any perspective other than one’s own. Egocentrism is found across the life span: in infancy, early childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
