How Does Change Occur: A Microgenetic Study of Number Conservation.

Siegler, Richard S.

Cognitive Psychology, v28 n3 p225-73 Jun 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)
