    A child living in Kenya has a mother who is a potter. He often helps her make her pots and even makes some of his own. He is found to be very advanced in the conservation tasks. Why?

    • In the child's family, quantity is very important; judgments about quantity are a daily part of experience.

    Explanation
    These judgments and transformations are important to the child's family & society so these competencies may arise earlier in life.
