  1. Are children Egocentric Or Was piaget wrong… Makayla trulu

  2. Jean piaget 1896-1980 • Born in Switzerland • When he was 11 he wrote a notice over an albino sparrow, the start of hundreds of articles and over 60 books • His interest for psychoanalysis began when he was at the University of Zurich • Inspired by the wrong answers • He obsereved his three children: Jacqueline, Lucienne and Laurent

  3. Me Piaget • 1896-1980 • Switzerland • Extensive research in psychology amongst other fields • Written many articles and books • Erasmus Prize and 11 other international prizes • 1993- • America • AP Psychology, Child Growth and Development • Written zero articles and essays • Zero international prizes

  4. The experiment Do piaget’s experiment as he did it alter his experiment try to other experiments

  5. Why this experiment? I chose this experiment because of the different studies I found while researching the three mountain task. Some modern day experiments showed kids were egocentric and other showed that kids are not. Some said you just had to find an experiment kids could understand. I knew that my test subject was exceptionally bright for his age, so I decided to try Piaget’s task and other modernized versions to test egocentrism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OinqFgsIbh0 Martin Hughes (1975) - Policeman Doll Study

  6. Piaget’s results “These experiments were carried out on a hundred children, 21 between 4 and 6; 6 years, 30 between 6; 7 and 8 years, 33 8 and 9; 6 years, and 16 between 9; 6 and 12 years.” Stage II: “child distinguished hardly or not at all between his own viewpoint and that of other observers” Stage III: “on the other hand (7-8 to 11-12 years), shows a progressive discrimination and co-ordination of perspective...(about 9-10 years), at which point the mastery of simple perspective is complete…” (Chapter Eight The Co-Ordination of Perspectives) …I think he may be wrong

  7. hypothesis My test subject will be able to pass the egocentric experiments. Why this hypothesis? My test subject is very advanced academically and does not show the normal signs of being egocentric. For example, my test subject understands other points of view like someone else’s feelings. Another example is that when asked how his toy feels, he does not give it the same feelings as he has.

  8. background • Periods of Development • Sensorimotor Motor: birth-2 years • Scheme- pattern or action for dealing with the environment: looking grasping, hitting or kicking • Primary circular reactions- organization of two previously separate body movements or schemes: baby brings her hand to her face to look at • Thought begins- begin to think before they act • Preoperational Thought: 2-7 years. “Children learn to think-to use symbols and internal images- but their thinking is unsystematic and illogical. It is very different from that of adults.” (Theories of Development) • Conservation of Continuous Quantities • Make believe play develops • Animism- personification, they don’t separate nonliving and living, so give inanimate objects life like qualities • Concrete Operations: 7-11 years • Think systematically but need concrete objects and activities • Formal Operations: 11- adulthood • Piaget did not do much for this stage, this was basically unchartered territory until Erikson. Refer to chapter 12 on Erikson

  9. background Egocentrism- the inability for children to see another’s perspective If a child is egocentric, then they believe everyone else feels, sees and hears what they do. “One must, nonetheless, ask whether the child is completely aware of how to communicate his thought and is capable of taking the point of view of others” (page 20 of Six Psychological Studies) In his book Six Psychological Studies, Piaget says that adults often have a hard time understanding children between 2-7 because of this egocentricity- “lack of differentiation between his own point of view and that of others.” (29) Piaget says that children during this stage do not support assertions with facts due to egocentrism. “In questioning children under seven years one is struck by the poverty of their proofs, by their incapacity to find ground for their statements, and even by the difficulty they experience in recapitulating through retrospection how they reached their conclusion.

  10. First experiment For the first experiment I replicated piaget’s three mountain task and performed it as he did. This experiment had three parts: Cardboard cut outs Pictures Place bear with pictures

  11. First part

  12. Second part

  13. third part I was supposed to ask my test subject to choose a picture used during the second part of the experiment and to place the bear in the position at the table that gives him that view However, he got so frustrated with part two that I just moved on. I did not want him to shut down and not do anymore experiments.

  14. second experiment For the second experiment I will modify piaget’s experiment. Instead of using pictures or cardboard cut outs. I will use animals: Animals More personal pictures

  15. First part

  16. Second part

  17. third experiment For this experiment, I will recreate the Policeman doll study. I will place the fireman at different walls and ask my test subject to place lighting Mcqueen where the fireman can’t see him

  18. 1 2 3 #2 #1

  19. fourth experiment For this experiment, I will ask my test subject to tell me what he sees and then switch places with him and tell me what he sees and what I see.

  20. Piaget was wrong!!! And too confusing!!!

  21. Piaget presented young Kids with experiments that Were too complex

  22. Analysis The boy I tested passed all the tests until it came to the pictures. He clearly showed that he was not egocentric, so I conclude that Piaget simply tested egocentrism in the wrong way. Children had such a hard time understanding the experiment that they showed the signs of egocentrism.

  23. Why my experiment worked I believe that my experiment worked even when Others did not because I made it fun (called it a Game) and made it personal. One thing I read was that the best teachers are Ones that find what their kids are interested in And push them in that direction.

  24. limitations • One test subject • Did not perform one of the experiments • Was related to me • Not many age levels
