When Two Piagetian Tasks Disagree

Captions available

The idea

When two tasks place the same child at different stages, the disagreement is reported rather than resolved by choosing the higher result.

In practice

A child conserves number and fails conservation of volume in the same session.

Where people slip

Conservation arrives at different ages for number, mass, and volume. A single stage label hides that.
