• _{Egocentrism: the tendency to view the world only from one’s own perspective}
  • _{Because of egocentric thinking, children will “hide” by covering their eyes or only certain parts of their bodies. These children believe that if they can’t see the ‘seeker’ they cannot be seen!}
• _{Conservation: understanding that certain properties of objects, such as volume or mass, does not change because the superficial appearance of the object changes.}
  • _{Preschool children (pre-operational) are incapable of understanding the idea of conservation.}
• _{Irreversibility: unable to reverse or mentally ‘undo’ an action.}
  • _{Preschool children (pre-operational) are not capable of this of irreversibility.} 

Key Points:

1. _{During pre-school years a child enters the per-operational stage (according to Piaget), they now have the capacity to think symbolically, using words or objects to represent something else. Despite these new skills, there are still many characteristic errors in reasoning. One of the most observed is Egocentrism. Other reasoning errors result from thinking that is intuitive—rather than logical (Conservation).}
2. _{As children move into the concrete operational stage they are no longer fooled by appearances, as observed in the per-operational stage of childhood.}

• _{Word Forms: rules for combining words and word endings.}
• _{Conversations: can talk with peers about things that interest them.} 

Key Points:

1.  _{Children will usually learn 14,000 new words between the ages of 2-6.}
2. _{Overregularization: when children begin to use grammatical morphemes-- overregularization is an error when children begin to use new word forms, (rules for combining words and word endings) and are over using these word forms.} 

_{Example: “I don’t remember what I watchted.”}
