Piaget’s Conservation Task Experiment
In my experiment I chose to do the water glasses. I gave the test to my little brother and sister. My sister is eleven and my brother is nine. I also gave it to my next door neighbor’s kids and one is five and the other one is two. The results of the experiment were that the older kids guessed right and they were harder to trick and both the little kids got the test wrong. I think that Piaget’s Theory is fairly accurate based on my experiment because the younger kids based it off what they saw and understood the concept that I asked them to do. Which is how he described children of this age to be like. They clearly understood the question. The five year old understood the question
