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)

Peer reviewedHamilton, Vernon – British Journal of Psychology, 1972
The present study, and the development of the instrument for the measurement of conservation, arose in the context of wishing to demonstrate finely discriminating individual differences in this cognitive capacity. (Author)

Murray, Frank B. – J Res Sci Teaching, 1969
Describes procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to investigate the effects of (1) the height of an object, (2) state of decay of an object, (3) the reversibility of an event, and (4) the affective aspects of an event on the development of the conservation of time concept in elementary school children. Results indicated that…

Victor, Laurence J. – Sci Educ, 1969
Urges a detailed analysis of the structure of some of the fundamental conceptual schemes of science. Suggests that a logical explication of this analysis would serve the needs of both science curriculum designers and researchers of conept formation in children. (LC)

Peer reviewedO'Bryan, Kenneth G.; Boersma, Frederic J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1971
Data gathered on 92 girls (6-10 years of age) tested on Piagetian conservation tasks supports a theory of perceptual activity leading to decentration and indicates a change in viewing strategy associated with change in conservation status. (WY)

Peer reviewedHowe, Ann C.; Butts, David P. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1970
Describes a study which used fourth and sixth grade children who had used Science - A Process Approach" and compared their performance with that of a control group on two conservation-of-volume tasks. Performance of the volume tasks was found to be related to age and score on the Learning Hierarchies Test and not to previous science program…
