The three mountains task is the task Piaget created to determine whether a child is egocentric. In this task, the child is shown a model of three mountains with different features on each side. The child is then asked to select a picture that shows what the mountains look like from another person's perspective. If the child chooses a picture that accurately reflects another person's viewpoint, they are considered to have passed the task and are not egocentric. If the child chooses the picture that accurately reflects their own viewpoint, they are considered to have failed the task and are egocentric.
