o b. three-mountain task.
o c strange situation technique.
o d. violation of expectations technique

piagets term for awareness that two objects that are equal according to a certain measure remain equal in the face of perceptual alteration so long as nothing has been added to or taken away from either object is known as
select one:
o a. ordinality
o b. decentration
o c. irreversibility
o d. conservation

timothy does not understand that transforming the shape of a liquid does not change the amount of liquid. which of the following limitations of preoperational thought is illustrated here?
select one:
o a. irreversibility
o b. animism
o c. conservation
o d. transductive reasoning

Explanation:

• First question: Piaget used the three - mountain task to test children's egocentrism. The still - face paradigm is related to infant - caregiver interaction, the Strange Situation technique is for attachment, and the violation of expectations technique is for testing infants' knowledge.
• Second question: Conservation is the awareness that two objects that are equal according to a certain measure remain equal in the face of perceptual alteration. Ordinality is about order, decentration is about considering multiple aspects, and irreversibility is about not being able to reverse a mental operation.
• Third question: Timothy's inability to understand that the amount of liquid doesn't change with shape transformation is a lack of conservation. Irreversibility is about mental operations, animism is attributing life to inanimate objects, and transductive reasoning is a form of faulty reasoning.

Answer:

1. B. three - mountain task
2. D. conservation
3. C. Conservation
