For the engineering term, see Centration (engineering).
In psychology, centration is the tendency to focus on one salient aspect of a situation and neglect other, possibly relevant aspects.[1] Introduced by the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget through his cognitive-developmental stage theory, centration is a behaviour often demonstrated in the preoperational stage.[2] Piaget claimed that egocentrism, a common element responsible for preoperational children's unsystematic thinking, was causal to centration.[2] Research on centration has primarily been made by Piaget, shown through his conservation tasks, while contemporary researchers have expanded on his ideas.
