Thinking of himself or herself as the center of attention, the adolescent comes to believe that it is because he or she is special and unique". It is found during the formal operational stage in Piagetian theory, along with the imaginary audience . Feelings of invulnerability are also common . The term "personal fable" was first coined by the psychologist David Elkind in his 1967 work Egocentrism in Adolescence . </P> <P> Feelings of uniqueness may stem from fascination with one's own thoughts to the point where an adolescent believes that his thoughts or experiences are completely novel and unique when compared to the thoughts or experiences of others . This belief stems from the adolescent's inability to differentiate between the concern (s) of his thoughts from the thoughts of others, while simultaneously over-differentiating his feelings . Thus, an adolescent is likely to think that everyone else (the imaginary audience) is just as concerned with him as he himself is; while at the same time, this adolescent might believe that he is the only person who can possibly experience whatever feelings he might be experiencing at that particular time and that these experiences are unique to him . According to David Elkind (1967), an adolescent's intense focus on himself or herself as the center of attention is what ultimately gives rise to the belief that one is completely unique, and in turn, this may give rise to feelings of invulnerability . Ultimately, the two marked characteristics of personal fable are feelings of uniqueness and invulnerability . Or as David Elkind states, "this complex of beliefs in the uniqueness of (the adolescent's) feelings and of his immortality might be called a "personal fable", a story which he tells himself and which is not true ." </P> <P> Elkind's work with the personal fable stemmed from Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which describes egocentrism as a lack of differentiation in a given area of subject - object interaction . According to Elkind, in conjunction with Piaget's theory, adolescent egocentrism is to be understood in the context of ontogeny (referring to the development of an organism across its lifespan). These ontogenetic changes in egocentrism are thought to drive the development of logical and formal operational thinking . Elkind described an operation as a "mental tool whose products, series, class hierarchies, conservations, etc., are not directly derived from experience ." However, a child in the concrete operational stage is not able to differentiate between these mental constructs and reality (their experiences). For instance, a child in the concrete operational stage may understand that a dog is an animal, but not all animals are dogs; however, the child is not able to grasp a hypothetical concept such as "suppose that dogs were humans". The child is likely to respond "but dogs aren't humans, they are animals ." </P>
