Recent evidence suggests that Piaget may have underestimated the age at which children master egocentrism and object permanence. Some studies have shown object permanence as early as 3-4 months of age, before Piaget's predicted age of 8-9 months. Additionally, some children have demonstrated the ability to understand perspective-taking before Piaget's predicted age of 7-8 years. However, it is important to note that Piaget's findings and theories have still contributed significantly to the field of cognitive development.
