- 1Lab experiment~Effect of numbers of errors children made of each condition
~ Controlled conditions took place in classroom
~ Standardised proceedure by conducting mass, number and volume in the same way using the same materials - 2Advantages and Disadvantages to lab experimentA- Controlled environment so can easily control confounding variables so only IV affects DV e.g
D- Lacks ecological validity as task not true to life as you aren't asked if the container contain the same amount of liquid - 3Snapshot StudyA research design in which participants of different ages (or from different groups) are studied simultaneously and their behaviour compared using one set of data
- 4Why asked one question- fixed array?People critisied Piaget for asking the child twice as it was too complex as the child believed they had got the answer wrong if asked again so they wanted to research the effect of asking the question once
- 5AimTo investigate the reason under 8's made conservation errors were due to Piaget's methodology
- 6Stimulus for the studyChildren can conserve at an earlier age than Concrete-operational stage (7-11), Piaget's task was too complicated- not child-friendly
- 7Sample252 boys and girls aged between 5yrs 3m and 8 yrs 3m from schools near crediton, Devon. Collected by opportunity sample.
- 8Advantage and disadvantage of sampleA- children from different ages were used so you can see the development of conservational skills through the ages
D- ethnocentric so not representative of population of country so results cannot be generalised as in other countries the conservation age may be earlier due to what skills they need to survive. - 9Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development 0-2 yearsSensorimotor Stage
Object permanence - 10Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development 2-7 yearsPre-operational
Egocentric, lack of conservation - 11Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development 7-11 yearsConcrete Operational
Conservation, take perspective - 12Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development 11+ yearsFormal Operational
Think abstractly- metaphors, algebra etc. - 13Was Piaget's theory correct?Yes as you get older conservation skills improve- 7-8
No as Samuel & Bryant showed they can conserve at a younger age
