Document Summary
Two related themes that piaget deals with: progressive decentring. Egocentrism is only being able to see things from your point of view the way you see things is the way they are. Children become more and more capable of distinguishing between self and world. Increasing ability to discover invariance: discovery and use of invariance. Ex: number is invariant three occurs across modalities. Start to see the world as independent from them. Intermodal integration affords improvement of invariance world separate from child affords them to look for more marks of an independent world discovery of invariance reduction in egocentrism search for more invariance. If child reacts to b, it obviously knows that b is different. This is a way to determine how child identifies things: doesn"t require child to initiate any behaviour, little demand on the child all they have to do is look at stuff.
