Abstract
Rose and Blank have shown that 6-yr-old children do a great deal better in a conservation of number task if they are only asked to make a comparison after the transformation rather than both before and after seeing the quantity transformed. This important result applies as well to other materials (mass and volume) and to a wide age range (5-8 yr).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
