Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jocelyn's use of the broom as a pretend horse demonstrates her ability to use symbols to represent something else, which is known as the semiotic function. She is using the broom as a symbol for a horse. The object concept involves understanding that objects have specific features (such as weight or shape), and the egocentric function involves understanding how one's own body relates to objects in the environment. Deferred imitation involves observing someone else's actions and then repeating them later. None of these concepts are demonstrated by Jocelyn's use of the broom as a pretend horse.
