Characteristics of thinking

Egocentrism- The students are at the preschool age where they believe things happen because of them. They also believe that when something happens at home, they think it was because they had done something wrong and now they are in trouble, but they do not understand that it is not their fault and they are not in trouble. During the preschool age, they are always thinking that when something is put in front of them, it is all for them and they do not have to share it with anyone else that is around them.
Centration- The student often tends to focus on jut one aspect of an object seen. If they notice something interesting, then they will stay with that one object and won't leave it for something else.
Inability to converse- Students do not have the ability to see the transformation in a viewed object.
Animistic thinking- The child will make a object come to life such as a doll or other objects that they play with
Supernatural fears- These are fears that seem worse than they actually are to a child. They get very scared when they see the object or thing they are scared to go near or see.
Classification- This is the ability to know what a object is called and not get it confused with a similar object. Classifying an object will help a child later in life because they will beable to correctly identify an object.
Difficulty identifying transformations- The kids have a difficult time trying to identify the differences in an object.
