Post by: joakim on Apr 20, 2015
During a conservation-of-liquid task, when asked why he thinks there is more water in the taller glass, 5-year-old Gus points out that the water level is higher in the taller glass than in the shorter glass but neglects to mention that this change in height is compensated by changes in width. This example demonstrates a limitation of preoperational thought known as
A)   centration.
B)   seriation.
C)   transductive reasoning.
D)   irreversibility.
