Sam buys a hollow, plastic rock where he plans to hide his spare key. He puts it near several other rocks by the door and calls to his two children, a 3-year-old and a 6 ½-year-old. He said he was gardening and found something under the rock and asks them to guess. One says a worm and the other says some ants. Then, he lifts it up and shows them that it's hollow and actually contained the house key. Then he asks where a robber, who has not been shown what is under the plastic rock, would look for the key to the house. How do you think each child would answer? Explain.

The younger child would incorrectly say that he would go to the plastic rock and get the key, but the older child would say that he might look under the doormat or in the mailbox because the older child has more advanced perspective-taking abilities. The older child realizes that other people see the world from a different perspective; they are not as egocentric as their younger counterparts.
