20 thoughts on “Piaget – Stage 2 – Preoperational – Lack of Conservation”

  1. almost every time I've seen the second one done on little kids (the rows of quarters) either the adult prevents discussion of why the kid thinks what they do or the kid eventually explains that they're not interpreting 'more' to refer to the number of quarters, but to the space they occupy. as a result I'm forced to conclude that it is the adult (all adult proponents of Piaget, mind you) who isn't comprehending the situation, not the child.

  2. Oh my! Some of the comments in here are stupid beyond imagination. The way the kids acted is absolutely normal of their age. If you couldn't even understand that, it seriously makes me wonder if you are fully developed!

  3. People, the video is called Stage 2-preoperational LACK OF CONSERVATION, it's about this peculiar stage in child development…if you call some kids retarded when they react exactly how they should at a certain age, then how do you call an adult that can't read a title properly? I wonder…

  4. Wow, kids are fucking stupid (yes, I was probably like this once). I mean, you're watching the adult perform the action. What the fuck?

  5. You people honestly don't understand the 4 stages of Piaget's cognitive development. These children are not stupid or retarded. We all went through this growing up. You can't honestly tell me that at the age of 5-6 you understood conservation.

  6. The amount of stupidity in the comments makes these kids sound smart.
    Seriously people, them kiddies are still learning, it's natural, not because they're just plain stupid. (and you're basically sounding stupid yourselves…)

  7. I'm sorry, but are these children honestly retarded? The water one – sure I can give that kids may be fooled by that. But the one with the quarters and and the crackers? Honestly, really?
