Question

a child reading a book, pointing to a picture on the page and calls to his mother in another room and says, \mommy, whos in this picture?\ he expects that she will know what he is pointing at, even though she cant see it. which of the following concepts is illustrated in this example?
a) animism
b) assimilation
c) egocentrism
d) object permanence

Explanation:

The example describes a child who assumes his mother (in another room, unable to see the picture) knows what he is pointing at. This is egocentrism, a concept from Piaget's theory where children in the preoperational stage struggle to see from others' perspectives. Animism attributes human traits to non - human things, assimilation is about fitting new info into existing schemas, and object permanence is knowing objects exist when unseen—none match this scenario.

Answer:

C. Egocentrism
