Piaget wrote,
	"The adult thinks socially, even when he is alone and the child under seven thinks egocentrically, even in the society of others."
	Piaget’s observations conclude that only a spurious social life is found among children less than seven years of age.
	Instead of reasoning in universal terms, children’s thoughts deal with individual instances.
	Piaget said,
	"They form logic of action but not yet a logic of thought."
	The child’s ego-centrism does not permit him to think in relative terms, but they think in absolute terms. Self-contradictions are not avoided, due to the transductive reasoning of the child. They are reasoning from one particular instance to another rather than reasoning from deduction to induction.
	Due to animistic thinking (Doctrine that the soul is a vital principle), a seven-year-old child assumes that the sun moves because it is alive and the child generalizes that all things that move are alive. In fact, the child’s conception of the world is animistic, inputting spontaneous movement to bodies.
