This observational study provides an insight into the prevalence of Piaget’s characteristics
and correlates them with the IQ of 4-7-year-old children. It concludes that perceptual
egocentrism disappeared whereas cognitive egocentrism though present, decreased with
increase in age. Centration and lack of reversibility were appreciated in most of the children
between 4 and 7 years of age. There was a gradual reduction in the prevalence of these
characters with increase in age from 4 to 7 years. The mean IQ score of children who possessed
perceptual egocentrism, cognitive egocentrism and egocentrism in dental setting was
significantly higher than those who lacked these characteristics. Thus, most of Piaget’s principles
are still valid today.
