  2. Conservation (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_(psychology)

    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.

  3. Centration - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Piaget's theory of cognitive development - Wikipedia

    Moreover, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the centre of the human organism, and language is contingent on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development. [6] Piaget's earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centred classrooms and "open education" are direct applications of Piaget's views. [7]

    These results have since been replicated in a number of studies, and most subsequent interest in the water-level task has been concerned not with the study of child development but rather with accounting for the adults and adolescents that fail the test, and the apparent difference in success rates between the sexes. [1]

  6. Genetic epistemology - Wikipedia

    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 ]

  7. Horizontal and vertical décalage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizontal_and_Vertical...

    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 ...

    From Piaget, CA recognises there are stages in intellectual development. At school the most important transition is from concrete thinking - which deals with facts and descriptions, to abstract thinking - any thinking which involves a mental process.

    Scientific investigation in this field has its origin in the first half of the 20th century, an early and influential theory in this field is Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Since Piaget's contribution to the field, infant cognitive development and methods for its investigation have advanced considerably, with numerous ...
