Sample question
Piaget – conservation · medium
Six-year-old Imran insists that a tall thin glass holds more juice than a short wide glass, even after watching the same juice poured between them. Which Piagetian idea does this best illustrate?
- A. Object permanence not yet developed
- B. Abstract reasoning in the formal operational stage
- C. Lack of conservation because of centration on one dimension
- D. Assimilation without any accommodation at all
Show answer and explanation
Answer: C
Pre-operational children centre on one salient feature (height) and ignore others (width), so they fail conservation tasks. Object permanence is achieved in infancy; formal operations come after 11-12 years. Assimilation/accommodation are processes, not a diagnosis of this specific error.
