Peer reviewedSinger, Dorothy G.; Kornfield, Barbara – Developmental Psychology, 1973
Given a chance to eat the candy or drink the juice in this study, the 5-year-olds, 7-year-olds and young adults failed to conserve and made choices based on what they said was appearance of greater quantity rather than upon the already established equivalencies. (Authors/CB)

Peer reviewedSills, Thomas W.; Herron, J. Dudley – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1976
This study is an attempt to validate an alternative electronic analog task for the Combination of Chemical Bodies Piagetian task. Both tasks were compared with each other, as well as with a Chemistry Placement Exam and an independent Piagetian measure. Subjects were 55 university first-year chemistry students. (MS)

Examines the possible effects of cultural and epistemological factors, such as mythicomagical and empiricoscientific thought, on conservation task performance. (BD)

Peer reviewedPapalia, Diane E. – Human Development, 1972
Although the ability to conserve number held up well with age, quantity conservation performance was generally lower in the subjects over 65 years of age than in the college and adult age groups. (Author)

Peer reviewedAffleck, Glenn; Joyce, Patricia – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979
The association of locus of cerebral hemispheric specialization of spatial function with identity and equivalence conservation judgments was tested in a group of four- to six-year-old right-handed children (N=31). (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedGentile, J. Ronald; And Others – Child Study Journal, 1972
The construct of conservation, as presently studied in dichotomous form (i.e., Conservers vs. Nonconservers), may be a convenient fiction, but that is all it is. There seems to be great need to treat this dimension as the continuous variable it really is. (Authors)

Peer reviewedDean, Anne L. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1979
Examines the imaging processes that children at different operatory levels use on a spatial rotation task. Subjects were 80 elementary school girls ranged in age from 5 to 10.2 years. (MP)

Peer reviewedCraig, Grace J.; And Others – Child Development, 1973
A level prediction task, in the context of Piaget's conservation-of-liquid problem, was used to analyze the regularities of incompetence'' in the nonconserving or noncompensating child. (Author)

One hundred and sixty first grade boys and girls of normal intelligence were tested for ability to conserve multiple space relations. The criterion task apparatus was a wooden T with a model of schoolhouse attached and centered above the point of contact of the horizontal and vertical axis. The T had a track running the length of both its axes…
