Pictures often are used in language intervention programs to elicit selected linguistic constructions or to teach concepts to children below the age of 5 years. However,, preschool children frequently are egocentric in their perceptions and in their language, and are unable to view a situation from a perspective other than their own. This study presented children who were in Piaget's preoperational period of development with pictures accompanied by a one-word descriptive phrase and asked the children to explain what was meant by the utterance. It was found that the younger child generally was more egocentric in his interpretations, and his responses reflected less attention to the situational cues present in the picture. The results are discussed in light of common clinical practices of using pictorial stimuli for children with language problems.
图片常用于语言干预项目中，以引出特定的语言结构或向5岁以下的儿童传授概念。然而，学龄前儿童在认知和语言方面往往以自我为中心，无法从自身以外的角度看待情况。本研究向处于皮亚杰前运算发展阶段的儿童展示配有一个单词描述性短语的图片，并要求他们解释该话语的含义。结果发现，年龄较小的儿童在解释时通常更以自我为中心，其回答对图片中呈现的情境线索关注较少。根据对有语言问题儿童使用图片刺激的常见临床实践对结果进行了讨论。
