Answer:
conservation of number
Explanation:
An experimenter presents a child with two identical balls of clay. The experimenter rolls one of the balls into a long, thin piece of clay. The child is then asked if there is more clay in the ball or in the long, thin piece. This Piagetian task is a test to see if the child is capable of conservation of number operations
Answer:
CONSERVATIVE operations
Explanation:
At the concrete operational stage of cognitive development which is peculiar to children around the age of 7 to 11 years, the development of the child's logical ability and thoughts commences in earnest. Children now start adding a little bit of sophistication in their reasoning and start thinking more logically and critically.
At this stage of their cognitive development, they start developing the ability to understand reversibility. For example, a child who has attained eight years of age should be able to now understand that the snake he/she saw at the zoo yesterday is a python, that a python is a snake and that a snake is a reptile.
At this stage, the child also begins to assimilate or understand the concept of CONSERVATION. Children at this stage understand or recognize that when you pour the same quantity of juice in two different cups, that it doesn't in anyway change or increase the quantity than when it is left or poured into a single cup. This now differentiates their thinking ability from children who are yet to reach this stage who will believe that pouring that quantity of juice into two or more cups entails increment in the amount of juice and thereby opt for the juice in more cups than in fewer cups.
Now with respect to the question asked above, the piagetian task being conducted by the experimenter is a test to see if the child is capable of CONSERVATIVE operations.
