Peer reviewedSiegler, Robert S.; Liebert, Robert M. – Developmental Psychology, 1972
Data suggest that young children can rapidly learn to classify transformations correctly that do and do not affect liquid quantity. (Authors)

Peer reviewedPapalia, Diane E. – Human Development, 1972
Although the ability to conserve number held up well with age, quantity conservation performance was generally lower in the subjects over 65 years of age than in the college and adult age groups. (Author)

Hall, Vernon C.; And Others – Develop Psychol, 1970
Training for or altering the set" resulted in better performance. Subjects trained to perform correctly on the synthesis task did not do significantly better on conservation. (MH)

Peer reviewedSilverman, Irwin W. – Child Study Journal, 1979
A replication study was conducted to determine whether conservation-of-number performance would be improved by questioning the subject only after the transformation is performed, rather than before and after the transformation, as is done in the standard conservation test. Subjects were preschoolers, aged 0-4 to 5-7. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedGelman, Rochel; Weinberg, Denise Hootstein – Child Development, 1972
Compensation as assessed by any one test or criterion used is more difficult than conservation. And, the understanding of the compensation principle, as manifested in verbal statements, continues to develop well after the age at which liquid conservation may be taken for granted. (Authors)

Peer reviewedAffleck, Glenn; Joyce, Patricia – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979
The association of locus of cerebral hemispheric specialization of spatial function with identity and equivalence conservation judgments was tested in a group of four- to six-year-old right-handed children (N=31). (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedBarstis, Susan Weiss; Ford, LeRoy H., Jr. – Child Development, 1977
This study examined the effects of 3 situational contexts varying in demands for accuracy and speed on the performance of 45 kindergarteners and 45 second grade students on the Matching Familiar Figures test of cognitive style. (JMB)

Peer reviewedKeller, Harold R.; Hunter, Mary L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1973
Authors emphasize the importance of investigating the effects of task variables on multiple dependent measures at various age levels and points in time. (Authors/CB)

Peer reviewedGentile, J. Ronald; And Others – Child Study Journal, 1972
The construct of conservation, as presently studied in dichotomous form (i.e., Conservers vs. Nonconservers), may be a convenient fiction, but that is all it is. There seems to be great need to treat this dimension as the continuous variable it really is. (Authors)

Peer reviewedCurcio, Frank; And Others – Child Development, 1971
A combination of readiness and body-part training was the most effective in producing number conservation with external objects. (Authors)
