Sam buys a hollow, plastic rock where he plans to hide his spare house key. He puts it near several other rocks by his front door and calls to his two children, a 3-year-old and a 6½-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 up the rock and shows them that it's hollow and actually contains the house key. 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.
What will be an ideal response?
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 are.
