Activity No5

The study assessed principles of Piaget's theory among 300 children ages 4-7 by analyzing experiments and IQ tests. Characteristics like perceptual egocentrism and centration were present in 10.7-31.7% and 96.3% of children respectively. Nearly all children lacked reversibility concept according to one experiment but most possessed it according to interviews. Children possessing certain egocentric traits had higher mean IQ scores. The prevalence of traits decreased with age in line with Piaget's theory of cognitive development stages.

analyzed using various experiments in 300
children. These characteristics included the
concepts of perceptual and cognitive
egocentrism, centration, and reversibility. IQ of
the children was measured using the Seguin form
board test. Inferential statistics were performed
using the Chi-square test and the Kruskal Wallis
test. The level of statistical significance was set at
0.05.
