Context and Number Conservation.

Silverman, Irwin W.

Child Study Journal, v9 n3 p205-12 1979

A replication study was conducted to determine whether conservation-of-number performance would be improved by questioning the subject only after the transformation is performed, rather than before and after the transformation, as is done in the standard conservation test. Subjects were preschoolers, aged 0-4 to 5-7. (Author/MP)
