Egocentrism
Captions available
The idea
Egocentrism is difficulty taking a perspective other than one's own.
In practice
A child holds a picture facing themselves while describing it to someone across the table.
Where people slip
Egocentrism is a cognitive limit, not selfishness. The child is not withholding a perspective they have.
