Egocentrism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Egocentrism is difficulty taking a perspective other than one's own.

Show

A child holds a picture facing themselves while describing it to someone across the table.

Watch for

Egocentrism is a cognitive limit, not selfishness. The child is not withholding a perspective they have.
