@JayLeeBeanz Right, because at age 4.5 years, some of these concepts are not taught to children the same because most children at 4.5 years do not use deductive reasoning or do not recognise that when objects have been manipulated or superficially changed (the beaker experiment) the child at age 4.5 would not know that nothing has become bigger, or longer until age 7 or 8.

It's amazing to think that your level of mental development can influence your perceptions so much. I will forevermore be much more patient with others after watching this... after all, they may just have the awareness of a 4 year old.

All children do this. This isnt a result of the child's intelligence. Piaget referenced in the title is a psychologist who wrote about the stages of development in kids.

I love how he just spells out his logical mistakes but doesn’t reflect on it. ”That stick is longer” why? ”Because you moved it” so now it’s longer? ”Yeah”
I think the problem here is just that he hasn't been taught to associate the word 'more' with the quantity of things in a set, but rather the quality of being larger sized in general. Hence why some kids would say "This is 'more' bigger". They associate it wrong due to them not understanding the full functions of the word. Also longer to the kid could mean which sticks out further. It's what the words mean to him based off his amount of context, he gets it fully, just not the word.
@@animationspace8550 that’s what I kept thinking too. I wondered how his answers might change if the word “more” was explained in each scenario (like as quantity, in the coin example). I feel like it could be a misunderstanding in language.
Not a joke: Can someone who is knowledgeable about this, explain to me exactly how this is helping the kid? I mean they don't even say when they're wrong and explain why.
I went to Applebee’s once and ordered a large beer. It was in a tall glass, but then it seemed much narrower so I poured it into a regular pint glass, and it was exactly the same. These kids are growing and learning, but Applebees was genuinely trying to rip me off.
Kids tend to be pretty well behaved when mom and dad aren't around. They know exactly how far they can push parents so they tend to be a bit more conservative with others. Also, it looked like he having fun. Or at least enjoying the attention.
He isn't particularly well-behaved, he is well-engaged. An engaged child will show better "preferrable" behavior vs a bored child. That's why screen-time is so damaging to kids. Bad attention spans = easier boredom.
@@tonypop1007 he was measuring the height not the volume. So he was thinking the height is what is the same then when she changed it he thinks ok the height is more now. I think he is only understanding her questions from one perspective.
@TXC Rag3 yes he could, he even measured with his hand the comparable height of the liquid in the container. Then again when it gets taller in comparison in the larger cup.
And this ladies and gents is how the Democratic party works. Republican and Democrat politicians are both filthy rich but the Democrats claim only the Republicans have more.
Having 7 kids of my own and listening to this kid's reasoning, I don't think it's an issue of understanding conservation so much as misunderstanding the meaning of the words he's using.
The interesting thing about this for me is that the kid actually is articulating the reasons for his answers - it's not that he isn't thinking about it, it's that hes applying previously learned pattern recognition in a situation where that pattern recognition works against him (taller liquid = more liquid, longer line of objects = more objects in the line, etc). You can see the problem solving in action, it's just not fully developed yet.
Also the woman's wording "are they the same?" could be throwing him off. Because they aren't the same, they look different. She should ask "do they have the same amount?"
I think it's just the fact that she keeps egging him on..... You can hear her say things like "Very good" when he gets the answer wrong, which only encourages his behavior....
You do get the feeling he is repeating the pattern which he decided was what she wanted from him. I think if she had only corrected him once, a light bulb would have gone off in his head and he would have worked the rest out! Still very interesting to watch
I'm studying developmental psychology and this is called centric behaviour. The woman's wording, as noted by the other comments here, is irrelevant and is repeatable under many uses of language. The premise is that the child hasn't developed the ability to view things beyond just volume. It's fascinating stuff. Google 'Centric viewpoint - Developmental psychology'' if you want to learn more.

Just tried this with my niece who is almost 5 and she was the same however, when you actually elaborate and ask "so the liquid in these is no longer the same" she understands that they are the same but one is higher.

Under the age of six, cognitive development and perception are often not in sync. Note that child acknowledged that the coin lines were the same after using his finger, not his eyes, to count them.
It's not the way you asked but what you asked for, you asked if they were different, they said yes, just because you know what "more" and "same" *can* mean doesn't mean they know what you're asking for
Grand Maul yeah this is what I think, the fact that he describes that “this one is taller” as a reason for his answer makes it seem to me as if he does not understand what she’s asking for really
This cognitive development experiment of Jean Piaget has been repeated in universities for at least 70 years. Back then, outside the US, fizzy drinks were a very seldom enjoyed treat. Two boys, well below 6 years old, were shown the amount of fizzy drink poured into two identical glasses and they agreed that the amount of drink was the same. Then, as they watched, one glass was poured into a taller glass with a narrower base. Then the boys were invited to select a glass. They Both wanted the taller glass. The experiment was repeated with boys over 6 years of age who didn't mind which glass they got. Btw: the reason for boys in this part of the experiment is that back then boys were encouraged to be competitive and before the '80s were typically given toy guns and knives as birthday presents.
When I was younger, I made myself two sandwiches and made my little brother only one. This of course upset him because he just had to have two like his big brother. So me being a smart ass, I cut his one sandwich in half and said “there, now ya got two.” He stopped whining then, and was cool with it. I guess this is why. Lol

This is a typical stage of development we have all gone through. The point is to show people that young children reason differently than adults. It takes time and brain development for children to reason like adults. This is a totally normal child reasoning like all children do at this stage of development. I think it is both cute and instructive for us to see how children look at the world differently. It can help us to have more patience with children if we understand how differently they see things at various stages of their development.

Nice. I’m seeing some really smart comments hear that people aren’t shining their lights upon. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for, they’re just smart in a different way. This kid knew exactly that they were the same. He just meant “yes” as in, “yes, it has the appearance of being expanded, but it is still the same.” My autism makes it really easy to pick up queues like this, too bad I’m shit at executing them lmao
So true... plus: you are asking me, are they the same now? He must have thought, the same form? Of course they are not the same, because they have not the same form. So in a certain way, the kid is actually correct...
Phase two of testing: every time he’s wrong, yell “wrong” while slamming your fists onto the table. Then proceed to the next question without explanation while maintaining firm emotionless eye contact. We shall call this test the negative reaction test. Our goal is to see if stress can sharpen a child’s mental capabilities, or completely diminish them.
@@BladeOfLight16 Yeah, but then the lady is going to do the trick on him where he gets a tiny scrap of money and breaks it into two and she says "now you have twice as much of the ad revenue". What an evil bitch.
Idk how much they cut out, but for the quarters section, she asked him why he thought the longer row had more quarters. What worried me was when she asked him to count the coins, then asked him the original question again without questioning him afterwards. Such a thing could imply that equal was the answer the asker "wants" to hear, therefore potentially influencing his future answers, or the lack of correction could imply that pointing out the difference is the "right" thing to do. Even if it didn't apply to him, this issue could apply to other participants. For that reason, I think his first answer to the first test is the most authentic with the following answers all less reliably authentic. Ofc, this can be accounted for by simply testing with many children, asking them a different first questions and seeing if their answers to the same question is any different when it's not the first question.
@@apppertplus68 The test is conducted without leading questions specifically to avoid a faulty outcome. Before you reach conclussions on acknowledged child cognitive development how about you don't conclude based on a three minute video?

This actually really fascinates me because be was able to realize that the two rows of quarters were the same because he could count them. However, when it came to the things that he couldn’t easily measure, it through him off. It’s interesting how kids connect “more” with physical appearances.
I am so amazed by his nonreaction on realizing he was wrong, or does he even realize it? Whats happens in his mind? Im really curious xD Doublereading it made me realize I may sound like some dr frankenstein psychopath xD pls dont take it that way. Im just curious and high
In this kind of tests, it is extremely important to keep the voice level and neutral since the kids will pick up any changes a lot quicker. this is also the reason she always asks them the questions with 3 outcomes, option A option B or both being equal. If you'd leave out the third option, in many cases the kid would simply go for one of the other two instead of coming up with the third option on its' own.
Simple maths and conservation of materials is a surprisingly complex concept that we learn from repetition. For example, turns out the concept of 5 being the half of 10 is just learned. Animals and disconnected tribes usually think in exponents, not in additions, making them think the half of 10 is roughly 3, and make it harder for them to tell apart collections of objects by count.
@stephaniemorrissey No, tribes which haven’t been blessed with education of the 4000 years of mathematic development within every other mayor civilization, such as the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Persians, the Indians, the Chinese, and the Renaissance. So essentially, every single civilization that got stuff done instead of banging rocks together for 5500 years.

the kid understands what "more" means here qualitatively not quantitatively like adults do. It had the "quality" of being stretched out->longer->more.

I think the problem here is just that he hasn't been taught to associate the word 'more' with the quantity of things in a set, but rather the quality of being larger sized in general. Hence why some kids would say "This is 'more' bigger". They associate it wrong due to them not understanding the full functions of the word. Also longer to the kid could mean which sticks out further. It's what the words mean to him based off his amount of context, he gets it fully, just not the word.
@@animationspace8550 that’s what I kept thinking too. I wondered how his answers might change if the word “more” was explained in each scenario (like as quantity, in the coin example). I feel like it could be a misunderstanding in language.

Just impressed at how well behaved he is.
Kids tend to be pretty well behaved when mom and dad aren't around. They know exactly how far they can push parents so they tend to be a bit more conservative with others. Also, it looked like he having fun. Or at least enjoying the attention.
He isn't particularly well-behaved, he is well-engaged. An engaged child will show better "preferrable" behavior vs a bored child. That's why screen-time is so damaging to kids. Bad attention spans = easier boredom.

Yes, possibly the first tool he ever used
Such a clever idea.
Yes!
He even try to compare the height when it was in taller glass when it looked 2 times higher than the other one 😂
That was pretty smart
The interesting thing about this for me is that the kid actually is articulating the reasons for his answers - it's not that he isn't thinking about it, it's that hes applying previously learned pattern recognition in a situation where that pattern recognition works against him (taller liquid = more liquid, longer line of objects = more objects in the line, etc). You can see the problem solving in action, it's just not fully developed yet.
Also the woman's wording "are they the same?" could be throwing him off. Because they aren't the same, they look different. She should ask "do they have the same amount?"
@@Avratin Good point. These are old studies. I'd love to see some recent footage.
I think it's just the fact that she keeps egging him on..... You can hear her say things like "Very good" when he gets the answer wrong, which only encourages his behavior....
You do get the feeling he is repeating the pattern which he decided was what she wanted from him. I think if she had only corrected him once, a light bulb would have gone off in his head and he would have worked the rest out! Still very interesting to watch
I'm studying developmental psychology and this is called centric behaviour. The woman's wording, as noted by the other comments here, is irrelevant and is repeatable under many uses of language. The premise is that the child hasn't developed the ability to view things beyond just volume. It's fascinating stuff. Google 'Centric viewpoint - Developmental psychology'' if you want to learn more.

I think a lot of it is down to how they interpret English. Maybe they see what we say as phrases more than literally
This is a very good hypothesis
Under the age of six, cognitive development and perception are often not in sync. Note that child acknowledged that the coin lines were the same after using his finger, not his eyes, to count them.
It's not the way you asked but what you asked for, you asked if they were different, they said yes, just because you know what "more" and "same" *can* mean doesn't mean they know what you're asking for
Grand Maul yeah this is what I think, the fact that he describes that “this one is taller” as a reason for his answer makes it seem to me as if he does not understand what she’s asking for really
This cognitive development experiment of Jean Piaget has been repeated in universities for at least 70 years. Back then, outside the US, fizzy drinks were a very seldom enjoyed treat. Two boys, well below 6 years old, were shown the amount of fizzy drink poured into two identical glasses and they agreed that the amount of drink was the same. Then, as they watched, one glass was poured into a taller glass with a narrower base. Then the boys were invited to select a glass. They Both wanted the taller glass. The experiment was repeated with boys over 6 years of age who didn't mind which glass they got. Btw: the reason for boys in this part of the experiment is that back then boys were encouraged to be competitive and before the '80s were typically given toy guns and knives as birthday presents.

Idk how much they cut out, but for the quarters section, she asked him why he thought the longer row had more quarters. What worried me was when she asked him to count the coins, then asked him the original question again without questioning him afterwards. Such a thing could imply that equal was the answer the asker "wants" to hear, therefore potentially influencing his future answers, or the lack of correction could imply that pointing out the difference is the "right" thing to do. Even if it didn't apply to him, this issue could apply to other participants. For that reason, I think his first answer to the first test is the most authentic with the following answers all less reliably authentic. Ofc, this can be accounted for by simply testing with many children, asking them a different first questions and seeing if their answers to the same question is any different when it's not the first question.

Kid's trying to take her at her word on leading questions. He thinks she's trying to teach him something, not test him.
App, yes exactly, and he is not trying to compete, he is just making straight observations...
@@apppertplus68 The test is conducted without leading questions specifically to avoid a faulty outcome. Before you reach conclussions on acknowledged child cognitive development how about you don't conclude based on a three minute video? I study this field and though I had my skeptisism with a lot of theories, when you dive into the theories and what they're based on, other than numerous tests conducted by individuals that tries to break the theory, it yields the same result.
MushisCow right
Me, a fully functioning adult: *visually frustrated* you just saw her do it!
I learned about stuff like this is school but thought children were better than that. Guess not.
@@martinman2590 i mean its just how the brain works. If a guy could see into the future and you couldnt would you really wanna hear about how he thought you were better than that?
@@JR-uc1of Except in your analogy the man that can see into the future has an ability you do not have. There is no ability that you have which a child does not have, only experience.
@@chrismanuel9768 better analogy I think he was trying to make was someone from like 100 years in the future comes back to tell you they thought you were better than that
Yet grownups fall for these kinds of tricks at pretty much every shop at a daily basis.
1:37 i love how he uses his hand to measure the water level
that was so cute
That's how most grown-up Americans do it.
@@darek4488 I'd say most human beings, not just Americans, would instinctively (and wisely) use their hands when making a general and insignificant comparison to find out whether or not two identical glasses contain a similar amount of liquid.
Yeah I thought that was pretty smart of the little guy
@@1616jaime well he could just push them together and see more accurately if they are the same amount, but considering how he did in the test. yeah pretty smart
This actually really fascinates me because be was able to realize that the two rows of quarters were the same because he could count them. However, when it came to the things that he couldn’t easily measure, it through him off. It’s interesting how kids connect “more” with physical appearances.
But at the same time he was happy with two smaller pieces because the numbers were equal so its not universal
This is the type of logic i had as a kid that made my brother plug out the controller for player two and told me "im doing great"
😂😂
-plugout- ??? You mean *unplug*
I was your brother (I plugged your controller into the memory card slot and secretly played for you)
Terrible sentence
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love how this kid is not fazed at all once he realizes he was wrong 😂😭
Yes, it’s kind of endearing haha
I think the kid does not realize at all that he is wrong and I also think that this is somewhat the point of the test
@@meemmensch6459 Right. He thinks that matter is actually being created and destroyed with each change in shape.
I am so amazed by his nonreaction on realizing he was wrong, or does he even realize it? Whats happens in his mind? Im really curious xD
Doublereading it made me realize I may sound like some dr frankenstein psychopath xD pls dont take it that way. Im just curious and high
MeemGehirn absolute 5Head take
That woman is pretty fair in her tone of voice. I would've been extra shady: "so now it's LONGER???!!!!"
Arif nonce
Lmfaooo (x
hahaha
Child : OH DON’T SASS ME WOMAN
In this kind of tests, it is extremely important to keep the voice level and neutral since the kids will pick up any changes a lot quicker. this is also the reason she always asks them the questions with 3 outcomes, option A option B or both being equal. If you'd leave out the third option, in many cases the kid would simply go for one of the other two instead of coming up with the third option on its' own.
Simple maths and conservation of materials is a surprisingly complex concept that we learn from repetition. For example, turns out the concept of 5 being the half of 10 is just learned. Animals and disconnected tribes usually think in exponents, not in additions, making them think the half of 10 is roughly 3, and make it harder for them to tell apart collections of objects by count.
😂😂"Disconnected tribes"...i. e. tribes that haven't been blessed with white contact yet 😂😂
@stephaniemorrissey No, tribes which haven’t been blessed with education of the 4000 years of mathematic development within every other mayor civilization, such as the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Persians, the Indians, the Chinese, and the Renaissance. So essentially, every single civilization that got stuff done instead of banging rocks together for 5500 years.
Cutest thing ever to see how excited he gets when he answers all the questions, like "dude, I am NAILING THIS"
That last part just unlocked a parenting hack for me (a non-parent).
I can easily share minuscule portions of my food as long as I split it apart so it looks like I gave them more than I have.
All of this does remind me of the time I got a kid to drink some water.
Not by explaining that we had been jumping on a trampoline in the hot sun for hours and needed to hydrate ourselves, but by rotating the sink faucet to the other side of the sink and saying that it's "soda water" now.
Trickology is the devils creation. Try truth.
@@thotunewstildont5348 then he's gonna say 'i dont want water i want soda', and you're gonna have to settle for your child being dehydrated or living with your child drinking nothing but soda for his whole life.
Excellent!
Stop lying, Dylan
@@libertyhog4211 I took your advice and headed to the mall and hung around Santa to reveal the truth the kids deserve.
You ruined christmas, Paul
