Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An example of understanding conservation would be a child’s ability to identify two identical objects as the same no matter the order, placement, or location. I watched two videos of two children who were tested on the conservation stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -His theory posits that this ability is not present in children during the preoperational stage of their development at ages 2–7 but develops in the concrete operational stage from ages 7–11.

Detailed explanation-3: -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).

Detailed explanation-4: -What does Gelman (1969) indicate as an important factor in a child’s performance on conservation tasks? centration. What is the main difference between a reflex and a habit? A habit is a scheme based on a reflex, but it is completely separated from the original eliciting stimulus.
