What is conservation and did Piaget think that preoperational thinkers understood the concept?
What will be an ideal response?
Conservation is the concept that things remain the same despite a change in appearance. For example, if you take five coins, you still have five coins, no matter how you arrange them. Piaget felt that in early childhood (3-5) children did not understand this concept because they lacked centration and reversibility.
