Watanabe, Nobuki – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
Conservation and executive function (EF) are important early childhood skills; however, knowledge about their relationship is scarce. Hence, in this study, this relationship is investigated, and a comparison is conducted between the Piagetian conservation and EF tasks to obtain the total hemoglobin (mMmm) for the left and right brain activity in…

Amplification of Cognitive Motivation and Its Effects on Epistemic Observation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Inagaki, Kayoko; Hatano, Giyoo – American Educational Research Journal, 1977
Fourth-grade control students were given a multiple-choice problem involving conservation of weight. Experimental group subjects were given a fictitious choice response distribution with conflicting reasons. Curiosity for confirmation, progress in generalizing the principle of conservation, and positive correlation between curiosity and progress…
