Thomas watches his teacher, Ms. Hunt, perform a classic conservation task. She has two glasses with an equal amount of a blue liquid
She then pours the liquid from one glass into a tall narrow container and the liquid from another glass into a short wide container. Ms. Hunt asks him which container has more liquid or do they have the same amount. Thomas responds confidently, "They have the same amount; if you poured them back into their original glasses, they would be the same." Thomas is most likely illustrating which aspect of thought?
A) seriation
B) transitivitiy
C) reversibility
D) class inclusion
C) reversibility. By recognizing that the original state can be returned to by undoing the act of moving the liquid, that is, returning it back to its original containers, Thomas understands the concept of reversibility.
