Question 1
When preschoolers encounter a situation that requires them to consider several features of an object or several aspects of a problem at one time, they most typically:
◦ create faulty causal relationships among the features.
◦ focus on only one of the features at a time.
◦ see all the features but only from their own point of view.
◦ integrate the features into a single, simplistic representation within the mind.
Question 2
Preschool children often like to take things apart but then have difficulty putting them back together. This behavior best illustrates Piaget's belief that preschool children:
◦ cannot reverse steps in an action or mental process.
◦ cannot engage in symbolic thought.
◦ can focus on only one thing at a time.
◦ have difficulty solve novel problems.
