Placing a Child at Concrete Operational
Captions available
The idea
A child who conserves quantity and cannot reason from a premise they believe false is placed at the concrete operational stage.
In practice
The child conserves the water and refuses to answer what would follow if cats had six legs.
Where people slip
Reasoning is present and tied to the real. Detaching it from the concrete is the next development.
