Assessed the authenticity of conservation attainment through an observational learning paradigm. First grade children (N=60) were exposed to either a peer or adult model who was either present or absent during a series of tasks. No correlation was found between social influence and observational acquisition of conservation. (Author/JAC)

Purpose--Sociocultural learning theories, usually premised on participation in some community, explain workplace learning well up to a certain extent.
