Preceded by analogous problem story – genie with a magic staff, genie with a magic carpet. • Strengths • Checked that subjects remembered and understood the stories. • Used hints to seek success rather than just recording failure • Important follow-up experiments • Weaknesses • Smallish sample • No mention of background of subjects Egocentric speech Communicative speech thought PIAGET Jessica Tsang | ED368 Cognitive Development | 4.08.2009
