Q1
Video #1
Prompt #1: What do you notice when the researcher hides the giraffe? Explain and relate this to the skill that is being tested.
Q2
Video #2
Prompt #2: What do you notice when the researcher hides the object? What differences, if any, exist between the child in video 1 and the child in video 2?
Q3
Watch Videos #1 and #2 again, this time thinking specifically about ethics and what ethical considerations may be relevant here.
Do you think one of these videos has potential ethical violations with how the research was conducted? Why?
Q4
Watch Video #3. As you view, you’ll see that the researcher demonstrates several conservation tasks. In your response here, explain each one and note the child’s responses.
How does the child respond? Is the child demonstrating the concept of conservation, or not? How do you know? Finally, write down your reactions to watching the child’s responses. Did anything surprise you? Explain.
