The Acquisition of Conservation of Weight by Visually Impaired Children

Brekke, Beverly; And Others

Journal of Genetic Psychology, 125, 1, 89-98, Sep 74

A modified version of Furth's 13-step conservation of weight problem was administered to 72 legally blind children, 6-14 years of age. A total of 46 of the subjects resided in institutions for the blind, and 26 subjects lived in a family situation. Both the sighted group and the blind group living at home conserved more often than the institutionalized blind groups. (Author/CS)
