Abstract | This paper presents a study which indicates that accurate performance on a simple conservation task need not be related to congnitive maturity. Twenty adults and 20 third graders were given three verbal problems, each requiring a same-different judgment and an explanation of that judgment. Only 3 adults were able to give correct judgments, while 19 of the children were able to do so. It was surmised that the adults were not able to ignore irrelevant information, and that carefree attention to the characteristics of task information is necessary if advances in developmental theory are to be realized.
