Abstract

Gagne's learning set analysis was used as a basis for teaching young children length and weight conservation. 2 instructors alternated in conducting individual training for a maximum of 9 20-minute sessions. Analysis of results using both parametric and nonparametric techniques yielded highly significant training effects. In addition, experimental groups improved significantly more than control groups in substance conservation. Evidence was presented which indicated that this was due to the similarity of weight and substance tasks. Although only 3 of the appropriate 17 subjects in the trained group resisted extinction, all 15 of a natural conservers control group also extinguished.
