Piaget’s other famous task to test for the conservation of liquid involves showing a child two beakers, A1 and A2, which are identical and which, the child agrees, contain the same amount of colored liquid. Then liquid from Beaker A1 is poured into a taller, thinner glass (B1) and the liquid in A2 is poured into a glass (B2) identical to B1.
Example of the water-level task. In 1, a bottle of water sits upright on a table, with the water level marked in blue. In 2, the bottle has been tilted on its side (in this case, by 45 degrees). The respondent must mark the new water level.
Other conservation tasks include conservation of number, substance, weight, volume, and length. Perhaps the most famous task indicative of centration is the conservation of liquids task. In one version, [3] the child is shown two glasses, A1 and A2, that are filled to the same height. The child is asked if the two glasses contain the same ...
This is an example of horizontal décalage because children were able to solve certain conservation tasks but not others despite their similarities. According to the neural network approach, as a child's prefrontal cortex develops, he or she is better able to maintain their knowledge "rules" and apply problem solving techniques across different ...
Piaget sees children's conception of causation as a march from "primitive" conceptions of cause to those of a more scientific, rigorous, and mechanical nature. These primitive concepts are characterized as supernatural, with a decidedly non-natural or non-mechanical tone. Piaget has as his most basic assumption that babies are phenomenists ...

As an example, consider that for children in the sensorimotor stage, teachers should try to provide a rich and stimulating environment with ample objects to play with. Then with children in the concrete operational stage, learning activities should involve problems of classification, ordering, location, conservation using concrete objects. [ 1 ]
Peek-a-boo is a prime example of an object permanence test. [6] In Piaget's formulation, there are six stages of object permanence. [7] These are: 0–1 months: Reflex schema stage – Babies learn how the body can move and work. Vision is blurred and attention spans remain short through infancy.
