Question

According to Piaget's view, private speech is a stage in children's cognitive development, in which children use speech to regulate their own thinking and behavior. As children's cognitive processes become more internalized, private speech diminishes in both frequency and importance. Thus, Taylor's cognitive development and social experiences will lead to the disappearance of his private speech. Choice A is incorrect, as private speech is by definition speech that is not intended for others to hear; therefore, Tatiana's parents would not engage in private speech. Choice C is incorrect, as Piaget did not suggest that the internalization of other perspectives is related to the emergence of private speech. Choice D is incorrect, as egocentric speech is a form of social speech that reflects a child's inability to take the perspective of others.
