Placing a Child at Concrete Operational

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A child who conserves quantity and cannot reason from a premise they believe false is placed at the concrete operational stage.

Show

The child conserves the water and refuses to answer what would follow if cats had six legs.

Watch for

Reasoning is present and tied to the real. Detaching it from the concrete is the next development.
