Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The early preoperational stage is characterized by egocentrism, which is the inability to see things from another person's perspective. Cale and Kyle are both unable to see that the amount of juice in the two glasses is the same, even though one glass is taller and skinnier than the other. This indicates that they are still in the early preoperational stage of cognitive development.
