Q

What is the difference between centration and egocentrism?

Piaget and cognitivism

Centration: Centration is the tendency to focus on only one aspect of a situation at one time. When a child can focus on more than one aspect of a situation at the same time they have the ability to decenter.

Egocentrism: Inability to see from someone else’s point of view. (Piaget proposed that happens in a preoperational child)

Q

What is cognitivism?

A

Jean Piaget (1936)

That language development goes hand in hand with cognitive development (the pathways developed in the brain when we learn new information)

Therefore, the child has to acquire concepts (eg size) in order to use words relating to it (eg more than or less than)

Children therefore only learn more complex language when their intellectual and cognitive development is ready
