Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Case's neo-Piagetian theory, Howie's ability to solve arithmetic word problems without drawing pictures suggests that he has reached a more advanced level of thinking in that area. Egocentric thinking refers to the inability to take the perspective of others, which is not related to Howie's problem-solving abilities. Drawing is not relevant in this context as the question specifically asks about arithmetic word problems.
