Answer to Question #304520 in Psychology for Nonhlanhla

Question

A       Elkind stated that adolescents’ egocentrism manifests in the creation of an imaginary audience and a personal fable.

B       Piaget’s theory is not based on the premise that learning is the learner’s construction of meaning.

Answer 1

A - Elkind was right. During adolescence stage, the actors often feel that they are on top on things and are capable of accomplishing anything by themselves. This is often just an illusion and not something possible in a real world.

B - Piaget did a perfect research regarding learning. Learners are not inventors or innovators of new things. Even if they come up with something new, it is always an extension or improvement of something that had been done initially by some other scholars.
