In Her First Trip to a Zoo, 7-Year-Old Latisha Notices

In her first trip to a zoo, 7-year-old Latisha notices that leopards have paws very similar in shape to her cat Snowball's paws. She also notices that leopards walk in much the same way that Snowball does. Latisha starts to wonder if perhaps leopards are cats. Latisha's thinking illustrates Piaget's idea that thought is characterized by:

A) egocentrism
B) conservation
C) use of schemes
D) compartmentalization
