AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Conservation and reversibility: Conservation the understanding that objects can change in size, volume, or appearance but essentially remain the same. Reversibility means that some things that have changed can return to their original state, while others cannot.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conservation is the care and protection of these resources so that they can persist for future generations. It includes maintaining diversity of species, genes, and ecosystems, as well as functions of the environment, such as nutrient cycling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Per Piaget’s theory, conservation, or logical thinking, should be apparent during the concrete operational stage and the maturing age is between the ages of seven and eleven (McLeod, 2010).

Detailed explanation-4: -It states that the amount of the conserved quantity at a point or within a volume can only change by the amount of the quantity which flows in or out of the volume.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conservation, in child development, is a logical thinking ability first studied by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. In short, being able to conserve means knowing that a quantity doesn’t change if it’s been altered (by being stretched, cut, elongated, spread out, shrunk, poured, etc).
