Answer:

Centration

Explanation:

This is an example of a phenomenon known as centration. Centration refers to a tendency in which a person focuses on one salient example of a situation while neglecting other aspects that could also be relevant. For example, in this case, the child focuses on color, although size and monetary value are also important qualities of coins. This type of behaviour is often seen in the preoperational stage described by Piaget.
