Sagot :

Answer: (C) Decentration

Explanation: Decentration is a fundamental cognitive skill described by Piaget, which involves the ability to pay attention to multiple attributes of an object or situation. It involves the ability to link two or more dots of an event together. A single attribute is never considered in this skill.

Thus, in the case of Carla, the bottle of milk, the caregiver that he is accustomed to, and the event of her giving the bottle of milk to another child, forms the multiple dots (situation) he connected together.
