Answer:

centration

Explanation:

Centration was introduced by Jean Piaget who was a Swiss psychologist. Centration is the tendency for someone, most especially children, to focus on one aspect of a situation and abandon other aspects that might be important and relevant. This behavior is usual exhibited in the preoperational stage stage of development.

Eliza was focusing on the width of space while neglecting the number of button, she was exhibiting centration.
