Hello, While talking about Piaget's studies on conservation in Intro Psych today I said, "The experimenter asks the child which one has more." One student wanted to know if the experimenter ever asked the child the question in a different way such as, "Is there any difference in the amount?" or "Are they the same?" I said, "I don't think so." Several student's in the class felt that by asking the child, "Which one has more," the experimenter was setting the child up to make a mistake. Was the question asked in different ways? Does it matter how the question is asked? Do you have any ideas I can use to discuss this with my students? Thank you, Laura
