Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reversibility is the ability to mentally reverse an action. In this case, recognizing that multiplication is commutative and understanding that if 4 x 2 = 8, then 2 x 4 = 8 as well requires an understanding of reversibility. Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight, animism is the attribution of life or consciousness to inanimate objects, and egocentrism is the inability to take another person's perspective. None of these concepts apply to the given scenario.
