- 5How did children in the pre operational stage answer the questions?They could only see their viewpoint demonstrating egocentrism.
- 6How did children in the concrete operations stage answer the questions?They could see others viewpoints so the children were beginning to lose this egocentric trait
- 7What did Piaget and Inhelder conclude about egocentrism?That people who are ‘egocentric’ are selfish because they can’t see another persons point of view. The children in the pre operational stage were egocentric whereas the children in the concrete operations stage could see different viewpoints

- 9Strength of studyThey repeated the study with different children and provided detail leading it to have good results so the study was reliable
