They aimed to show that children under the age of 7 could conserve and that it was the way the questions were asked that led to different answers in Piaglets original test.
The aimed to show that children under the age of 5 could conserve and it was the way that the experimenter dealt with the child that affected the answer.
They aimed to show that children under the age of 7 could not conserve unless questions were asked in a certain way. This was to back up Piaglets original test which showed children could not conserve.

Pregunta 14

True
False
Pregunta 15
Pregunta

Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 16

They used counterbalancing to prevent order effects when changing the type of task (eg. Number, mass and volume) systematically.
Respuesta
True
False
Pregunta 17

The environment the children that the children carried out the tests in and the fact they were tested alone. In addition the researcher used the same materials for each child when carrying out the mass or volume tasks.
