Explanation
Four-year-old Kate positions herself squarely in front of all the other kids to watch a
magician. Piaget would attribute this to Kate’s egocentrism. Piaget would say that Kate does not have the cognitive capacity to realize that she is blocking others’ view; she is only capable of seeing things from her own perspective. Piaget believed infants develop object permanence, the understanding that an object still exists even when no longer in view, toward the end of the first year. According to Piaget, children learn to conserve around age 7, when they enter concrete operations. Conservation is the knowledge that a change in the form of matter does not change the amount of matter that exists. Animism and artificialism are limitations in the thought of the preoperational child. Animism is when one attributes life or consciousness to inanimate objects, and artificialism is the belief that everything has been created by people.
