Aim and hypotheses |
⚫️ to investigate whether Piaget's methodology affected his results H1 - the reason under 8's made conservation errors was due to Piaget's methodology H2 - the 'one question' method will result in different responses from 6 and 7 year olds |
|
|
Sample |
252 children aged 5-8 and a half From schools in Devon 4 groups 63 in each 3 experimental conditions 84 (21 from each age group) |
|
|
IVs and DV |
⚫️ age ⚫️ condition of questioning ⚫️ materials used - mass, number or volume 🔴 number of errors made in each condition |
|
|
Controls |
⚫️ tested 4 times (12 each) so they understood ⚫️ used materials in different orders to reduce order effect |
|
|
Conditions |
⚫️ standard - children asked questions before and after transformation (saw it) ⚫️ one judgement - only asked after transformation (saw it) ⚫️ fixed array - only shown post transformation was set up and asked after (didn't see it) |
|
|
Results |
⚫️ all ages made fewer mistakes on the one-question condition ⚫️ fixed array produced the most errors - max in conservation of volume fixed array task ⚫️ the eldest made fewer - Piaget's theory; better at conservation as they get older |
