Noah Crosby · Answer 1

symbolic function substage

Explanation:

Piaget notes a preoperational stage, where a substage called symbolic function stage corresponds to Sally:

Sally is able to represent mentally objects that are not present directly to her, she then gains ability around 2 or 4 years to do so with a inability to distinguis between her view and the view from others.

This was demonstrated as child were asked to portray view from different perspectives and they all showed : egocentrism.
