A child of four sees two equal balls of clay. One ball of clay is then made into several small balls and the child says that now there are more. What is the concept this child is displaying?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The child is showing that he has not yet reached the milestone of conservation. The child is judging the quantity by appearances and not taking into account that the amount of clay has not changed, just the form. As the child develops cognitively, he will gain the knowledge that volume stays the same even though the form may change.
