We examined this hypothesis by investigating the effects of the World of Words instructional program, a supplemental…

Peer reviewedSiegler, Richard S. – Cognitive Psychology, 1995
This study illustrates the types of information microgenetic methods can yield. Ninety-seven 5-year olds who had not mastered number conservation were given training in conservation or in reasoning about conservation. Results elucidate how changes in thinking occur and demonstrate children's efforts to understand other people's reasoning. (SLD)
