Question 1
A mother gives a child the same number of raisins as her brother for a snack, but the brother's raisins are spread out more on the plate. The child argues that her brother got more raisins. Piaget would likely suggest that the child was showing:
◦ transductive reasoning.
◦ inability to conserve.
◦ egocentrism.
◦ symbolic thought.
Question 2
A young three-year-old is helping his mother put plates of various sizes and colors away in a kitchen cupboard. Which of the following categorization schemes is the child least likely to use?
◦ A large blue plate is placed in the cupboard and a large tan one on top of that. A small tan plate is now placed on this same pile, followed by a second small tan one, then a large tan one. This continues until all the plates end up in one large pile.
◦ Large blue plates go in one pile; large tan ones go in another. Small blue plates and small tan plates each get their own piles as well.
◦ All large plates go in one pile, small ones in a separate pile.
◦ All the blue plates, regardless of size, go in one pile, all tan plates - both large and small - in another.
