Abstract
In the usual conservation-of-length task, one of two horizontally aligned sticks is displaced to the left and S is asked whether or not the sticks, previously judged equal in length, are now unequal. On the possibility that this procedure confounds a left-right discrimination task with the conservation task per se, 18 nonconserving first-grade children were each given four trials with the sticks in horizontal alignment and four in vertical alignment. Contrary to prediction, the incidence of conservation judgments did not increase in the vertical alignment condition, though speed of judgment increased slightly.
