Training Generalized Conservation in 5-Year-Old Children.
Parsonson, Barry S.; Naughton, Kathleen A.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v46 n3 p372-90 Dec 1988
Results of two experiments with five-year-olds indicated that: (1) conservation can be quickly taught with lasting results; (2) training on a limited range of exemplars will produce generalized correct responses to other, untrained classes of conservation problems; and (3) children's explanations of their judgments change as a result of exposure to the training.
