The Use of Hiding Games for Studying the Coordination of Viewpoints.
Hughes, Martin; Donaldson, Margaret
Educational Review, v31 n2 p133-40 Jun 1979
The authors outline Piaget's "mountain task" which measured egocentrism and perspective taking in young children, then present three studies of the same construct which used a different task, the "hiding game." These studies indicated much less egocentrism in young children than Piaget found. These differences are discussed. (SJL)
