Silverman, Irwin W.; And Others
Child Development, 47, 2, 427-433, Jun 76
Perceptual counterparts of a series of conservation of length tests were presented to subjects who were categorized as conservers or nonconservers conservation of length pre-tests, and to conservers and nonconservers given conservation length training. Perceptual performance of the untrained nonconservers was significantly worse than that of the trained nonconservers, untrained conservers, and trained conservers. (Author/SB)
