The kid was simply stating that the water level was higher in the tall glass because the width at the bottom of said tall glass was less, as he pointed out to the stupid lady.
he got it, he knew it looked different cause the glass was a different shape, but he's only five and could quite phrase it right, come on, give him a break
the kid was measuring the volume difference of the two glasses, the experimenter phrased the question wrong, in that, her question was "which glass holds more water"...not idoes the amount of water differ between the two glasses.....first off. the kid was NOT in agreement with her statement that the two smaller glasses held equal amounts of water, secondly, the boy was confused and questionable regarding the experimenters demand of equality, and the water transfer lessened the amount of water
The questions are leading. You need a script. Sometimes you say, "Is it the same amount of water?", hinting that it is the same. Sometimes you say, "Which has more water?", suggesting that one of them definitely has more water and he should choose which one. You didn't give him the option that they were both the same
This is why a lot of our "testing" by "professionals" is messed up. The kid answered the question correctly from his perspective based on her skewed questioning. In the educational world this kid would be put into "slower" classes and labeled "needing extra help" based on "testing results".
Another great piece of evidence that psychology/psychiatry is total buIIshiiit. Hey, why don't we just conclude that the kid has ADS! And let's pump him full of psychotic drugs so that he finally understands the water trick. @Archivioinutile, you're right, this test is is only about a kid not understanding a really dvmb-azz BlTCH. Also, the kid was just figuring out that the glasses had different shapes. Whereas the psycho BlTCH had months to figure it out, the kid was put on the spot.
the kid is right, when the water is poured into the larger glass and poured back into the smaller glass there would be a smaller volume of water in the small glass because the larger glass would have tiny ammounts of water left over.
HA! fat bitch the kid is right and your wrong! HA!
@hjlkds1, but the small glass would also have tiny amounts of water left over making your comment useless. Look at the video again, the kid is simply saying that larger cup has more water because it's larger. I don't think you understood.
The Childs problem obviously comes from his upbringing as seen by the evidence that the parents let him leave the house wearing grey sweats, blue Mickey sweatshirt, and insulated crocs with socks.
@usuckbad2 I agree with you- the boy's definition of "more" was the height of the water, not its volume. He even began explaining why the taller glass had more water in it, because it was narrow at the bottom, however the person administering this "test" wasn't open to multiple answers. He didn't provide the answer she was looking for, but his answer wasn't wrong- it was just a different solution based on his different way of approaching the problem.
He was answering how "tall is the water" and stating that it is shorter therefore the water would be taller not the volume of the water because he's only 5 what a silly experiment
With his very first response he says that the two identical glasses don't have the same amount of water. So why would that change once she pours it into another glass? He doesn't understand the word amount. This has nothing to do with a developmental stage, he (and most 5 year olds) have not had sufficient experience to learn what the concept of amount is. I'm sure that the same 5 year old could be taught the concept of conservation very quickly and would be able to "pass" this test.

This is a classic Piaget experiment.... and yes, the woman did not perform it correctly. She shouldn't have asked, "Does this glass or this glass have more water?" This implies that one has more than the other and it directs the child to choose one or the other. The kid is preoperational, which is totally normal for his age. His brain is still growing... Google it.
It might have been the woman fault that the kid mess up;however, the people that blame everything on the woman is an idiot. At the age of 5 most kids do not understand the concept of volume. They see a taller cup and they will believe that the taller cup is bigger than the wide cup.
@miceskin How could you know he was right though? There is no way that you could see which glass contained more water. Isn't it kind of obvious that if they did this experiment they would have measure the water first?
@DarkKnightOfGrace But not perfectly! They could be a molecule off! lol. So whether he was right or wrong the initial observation still stands correct, the two cups do not have the same amount of water.
FUCK!! damm these dumb ass grown ups' i alwayz gotta explain the stupidest shit to em! look bitch this one got more wawa in it' freakin duh! thats it im outa here where's my pogo stick.
If the child sees the "same amount of water" as the same height rather than the same volume (the distinction he likely doesn't know about yet, as he's, uh, 5), then he's technically correct if she didn't specify she means the volume of water and/or he doesn't understand the concept of volume in general.
Actually, what is going on is based on survivability. The child doesn't understand the concept because children are far more instinctive than adults. They don't understand the concept of volume, he is only associating size with quantity. 1,000 years ago it would have been the difference between being hungry or well fed.
this is a concpet that isn't abtained until about the age of seven.. I dont know the exact psycholigcal name of it, but it has to do with not being able to understand the princliple of simple of volume change. In a few years this kid will see this differently
@penskiboyo this originally comes from brilliant social and cognitive development psychologist Jean Piaget. these are his conservation tasks to determine cog dev.
What exactly is the point of this video? To prove the kid isn't old enough to understand the concept, or that he's just retarded? It definitely does prove though, that woman is incredibly annoying.
theres a certain stage in child development, i think the cognitive stage, where kids realize that there actually is the same amount of water in all the cups. if u ask any child this question before that stage, there response will always be that of the kids in this video, that the taller glass has more water. its really not a confusion in what the lady is asking the kid
The kid is saying that the taller glass is more full. He doesn't understand the question. Cause at the end when she asks why he says because the glass isn't as wide as the shorter glasses.
I kinda expected him to get a little confused, I thought similar things. at his age he's relying on visual associations to judge everything so the concept of volume doesn't really exist to him as much as it would for someone who's more familiar with liquids. To him and me when i was his age, if it looked different it was different.
can anybody tell me the psychology journal this came from i cant seem to find it and it would be great to do a similar project for my class at school. thank you
@penskiboyo this is originally work from brilliant social cognitive development psychologist Jean Piaget. this is one of his conservation tasks to assess cognitive development of children.
Free energy has been here for a while ,But the coverup is very strong,Find this technology at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Be a part of the energy revolution!
Ahh Piage's experiment never ceases to amuse me. The kid doesn't understand the law of conservation yet. He cannot answer the question until he understands that. She's doing the experiment perfectly correctly, the kid just can't answer it right because he isn't old enough.
she should've asked the kid if the two short glasses contained the same amount of water and allowed him to think about it rather than just telling him that they did and waiting for him to nod passively. She's just not a good experimenter.
In the Kid's mind "same amount of water" might have been the best way he could explain that the height was different.
I can remember that in my childhood "big", "more", "great", "large", "long" and "tall" were synonyms. I clearly grasped the concept but and I would use any of those words thinking that it meant what I wanted to say.
Now this experiment MUST be refined to get rid of the linguistic bias.
The problem with these experiments is the wording. Even among cultured adults there are misunderstandings, If I say "extrusion" you might not understand because it is a technical word. if I say I am "hot" you might need contextual information to know what I meant, if I say "Lady Gaga is the shit" some less skilled speakers might understand it like a bad comment. Language is prone to misinterpretation. Now apply that to a 5 yrs old kid, he might not really grasp what you are saying and viceversa
It's funny because the tall glas would have less water, not substansualy but still less, because she would leave traces behind in the small glass after dumping it into the big one PWND!
@shumshum81 No, this is not true. I am a magician and I practice magic to infants just to test this. Their facial expression is priceless when the candy that I was about to give them disappears. Kids at that age have a very short attention span, the mere action of staying focused is a sign that they caught something unusual and they are trying to figure out what happened. Other facial clues like stop chewing food is a strong indicator, dropping your jaw indicates surprise.
@Gleekedgal She's not assuming anything, there's video evidence. Don't take it so seriously Miss Gleek, it's Youtube. The problem is that we don't know what same age kids would do in his situation from just this video. He may be too young to understand... or retarded. One thing is certain based on this video - he doesn't get it.
@MikoStanson She is assuming, if there is not enough evidence, how could you say someone is retarded! You can't at all! There is no video evidence of it, there is only video of a boy who was being test on just one thing. Mental retardation isn't just based on one thing is it. Or has the civilization changed in such a drastic way that not knowing ONE thing means you're stupid or mentally retarded! Are you saying the kid is dumb just because he MAY not know the answer to this?
@MikoStanson Or he does gets it, but doesn't know how to explain? Don't tell me that you never had a moment where you know how to do something, but don't know how to teach it or explain it to someone else. If you say that you really never had that experience and can always explain clearly and precisely what you are thinking, then go ahead and make that remark, or else, don't.
@Gleekedgal You can see in the video obvious clues that suggests, he might actually understand it inside his head and didn't know how to or couldn't explain it. First, the lady was cutting him off before he had a chance to explain. Second, he keeps measuring as if he was trying to explain something, but he didn't know how to explain what he found out.
@Gleekedgal I think the lady's constant rushing for him to answer, he got momentarily confused or something and just picked the wrong answer. I think he actually understands it, because he was hesitant after he choose his answer. He probably gets it, but was rushed and pressured.
@Gleekedgal I'll agree the kids seem rushed. I imagine they went through a ton of children doing the same test. Like I said, the kid probably doesn't understand the concept of differing amounts to begin with, so he might not be "retarded". I use retarded enjoyably, as I don't think he actually is. Nevertheless, I don't see how you argue that he understands. Despite the "pressure" she's putting him under, the kid doesn't get a fucking thing from square 1. This kid can't be led into a right answer
I exaggerated to explain the point, that she talked right past him, she controlled his actions without letting the boy explaining it properly.Im pretty sure the boy got it, his problem just lies with the difinition "amount".
Also, you seem quite like the "smart" person refuting every claim here based on nothing.You know, im a kindergarten teacher, i know what im talking about, i've even done this with kids.Some get it at 3 years, some at 6, it really depends.
@Bratcipheo I don't really understand your point. I was just being a dick with the retarded thing, but I can't see how anyone would say the kid gets it. He doesn't. Are these two (identical) glasses the same? Answer: no.
Conclusion: retarded.
It seems to me like the kid isn't even listening to her. It's like his idea of tests are that people are trying to trick him. Maybe the kid thinks they expect him to get it wrong and therefore second guesses himself, I don't know.
@MikoStanson so, you think everytime no matter what! If someone says no, it means no? No matter what the circumstances are? The kid gets it, you just can't see it. You just don't understand!
@Gleekedgal Pray, enlighten me, because I don't know what the hell you're talking about. When she says are these two glasses of water the same (which granted they aren't of course "identical" on a molecular level or whatever and have slightly different attributes and water content) you think the kid shakes his head no and it means yes? What the fuck kind of rocks are you smoking? You're right, I can't see, I think I need some of that shit your inhaling to see how no means yes. Please explain.
@MikoStanson You can continue to think I take drugs or whatever, but you know yourself that's not the truth, so that's all that matters. I know I'm right, I'm gonna stick to that. The kid knows, you just don't understand it and probably never will, until you been with a kid long enough.
@Gleekedgal Re: "he may know the answer in his head but not knowing how to explain it!"
"Does this glass or this glass have more water?"
*points to tall glass*
He doesn't know the answer. The average child does not develop the ability to understand this problem until around age 6. Then most children understand it. It indicates a stage in mental development.
@Gleekedgal You know you're right that when the kid shakes his head, looks hesitant for probably having no clue what is being asked of him, and then answers incorrectly which means he was correct? Okay, obviously evidence isn't enough for you and projecting your beliefs on some child wins the day. Also, I don't actually think you do drugs. I've never made so many comments about drug use that have been taken literally. What I mean is, you live in a fantasy world if you think you're right.
@MikoStanson I guess my fantasy world is more realistic than your world! So, I still think I am right! You will never convince me to think otherwise just because of ONE video of the kid. Mentally retardation is can be identified solely by this test in your way of thinking, that is so freakin amazing and completely untrue! If a kid was asked what's 5x5 and he says 44, you may also think he's mentally retarded. What if he was nervous and under pressure?
@Gleekedgal After rereading my last comment, my wording is all jumbled and it makes no sense. Except the end, when I talk about fantasy worlds. Anyway, who the hell are you? Have you ever experienced laughter? Or been privy to sarcasm? I don't actually think the kid is retarded, but i know he doesn't get it. You are fucking insane. Even if he's nervous, and could get it, he doesn't, but you said he did - that is why you are crazy.
he is working off the idea of visual amount not actual volume he explains exactly what he is talking about at the end. hes basing the amount of water by the level of water he can see.the water is "higher" in the taller glass because its thinner which he explains. hes not retarded. i work with children this age as an art therapist, so i know what I'm talking about and i can tell when a child is mentaly handicapped. the woman is guiding him to the answer she wants, very unprofesional
in fact id think that you are the one with the psychological problems :) if i could talk to you id tell you all about it. but i dont like ignorant people and i dont like you from what i can see
The poster says, "A five year old boy doesn't understand that the water amount never changes even if the glass it is in does". Reification (look up "reification" in your dictionary) and preconception (adults think children are stupid; but that's false). The word is not the concept. The child probably DOES understand the CONCEPT of "amount", but he's interpreting the WORD "amount" to mean "height". His explanation is quite clear: "that glass is skinnier". Grade: D. (Bad science.) Stars: 2.
when i was i child i cut a piece of paper in half longways, but i wanted it longer, so i cut it in half again longways not realizing the length always stayed the same. it looked longer because it was skinnier.
you morons are all wrong. its called conservation, its when children in the preoperational stage of development are unable to realize that amounts stay the same even when their containers change
its beacuse the term " amount" has not been assimlated in a concrete way. inthe childs mind
thus children assume that "amount" must infers a hight or size change . so since the hight the water reaches on the skinny glass is higher... it has more.
An Afgan child of the same age would also not know the right answer. It's part of the normal development of a child. This experiment is famous and done in many countries with overly the same results.
I did this with my cousins. one was 3 and the other 5. the 5 yr old was confused. he tried explaining the tall glass had more water because it was "higher".
and the 3 yr old was sure the tall glass had more water in it
For those who think the kid understood, try giving those 2 glasses of juice to 2 five year olds and you will see that one will be certain the other one got more juice than he did and he will have a fit. LOL!
When u see kids have a fit just because the glasses are not the same size as their brother's even though u show them that u gave them both the same amount of juice, u will see that they don't understand how that works. If one glass looks fuller, to them it's fuller and has more! LOL!
this kid is much more intelligence..than the test tries to pretend... he even knows how to explain why the water level is higher ...he just doesnt have enough knowledge in his language skills...
She clearly doesnt understand. Kids dont think that way we do. They think that the glas with the highes amount water is the one who looks to has more water. This test has ben tested hundreds of times, she dosnt need to do a copy of every cool vid on YouTube...
oh my...poor kid has no idea what's going on...i dont think he even knows how to respond to the questions and expecially the confused look on his face
I think this test is invalid for this kid. He didn't even think the glasses had equal amounts of water in the beginning. She had to tell him that they were equal. He nodded and seemed to accept what she was saying, but it was clearly not from his own observation. From the vacant look in his eyes I doubt he has even the slightest idea of how to respond to what's being asked of him.
your argument for this particular experiment could be correct, but extensive studies from Piaget's research shows younger children really do not have a sense of volume conservation, among other things.
my baby cousin is five and she already knows the difference between weight and mass. yet many teenagers fail to understand it. is it becuz shes asian? idk. o.0

@penskiboyo this is originally work from brilliant social cognitive development psychologist Jean Piaget. this is one of his conservation tasks to assess cognitive development of children.

Ahh Piage's experiment never ceases to amuse me. The kid doesn't understand the law of conservation yet. He cannot answer the question until he understands that. She's doing the experiment perfectly correctly, the kid just can't answer it right because he isn't old enough.

It depends on the kid... My brother used to do this to me... When I was 7 or 8 years old my brother did the same and asked:
"-What cup has more water?"
I said:
"-DUH! It's the same!"
HelloKittyJF 1 year ago
she should've asked the kid if the two short glasses contained the same amount of water and allowed him to think about it rather than just telling him that they did and waiting for him to nod passively. She's just not a good experimenter.

@natelisek This doesn't change the outcome of the experiment.
Avealicious 1 year ago
(second part of the rant)
In the Kid's mind "same amount of water" might have been the best way he could explain that the height was different.
I can remember that in my childhood "big", "more", "great", "large", "long" and "tall" were synonyms. I clearly grasped the concept but and I would use any of those words thinking that it meant what I wanted to say.
Now this experiment MUST be refined to get rid of the linguistic bias.
quelorepario 1 year ago
The problem with these experiments is the wording. Even among cultured adults there are misunderstandings, If I say "extrusion" you might not understand because it is a technical word. if I say I am "hot" you might need contextual information to know what I meant, if I say "Lady Gaga is the shit" some less skilled speakers might understand it like a bad comment. Language is prone to misinterpretation. Now apply that to a 5 yrs old kid, he might not really grasp what you are saying and viceversa

@shumshum81 No, this is not true. I am a magician and I practice magic to infants just to test this. Their facial expression is priceless when the candy that I was about to give them disappears. Kids at that age have a very short attention span, the mere action of staying focused is a sign that they caught something unusual and they are trying to figure out what happened. Other facial clues like stop chewing food is a strong indicator, dropping your jaw indicates surprise.

MikoStanson 1 year ago
@MikoStanson She is assuming, if there is not enough evidence, how could you say someone is retarded! You can't at all! There is no video evidence of it, there is only video of a boy who was being test on just one thing. Mental retardation isn't just based on one thing is it. Or has the civilization changed in such a drastic way that not knowing ONE thing means you're stupid or mentally retarded! Are you saying the kid is dumb just because he MAY not know the answer to this?
Gleekedgal 1 year ago
@MikoStanson Or he does gets it, but doesn't know how to explain? Don't tell me that you never had a moment where you know how to do something, but don't know how to teach it or explain it to someone else. If you say that you really never had that experience and can always explain clearly and precisely what you are thinking, then go ahead and make that remark, or else, don't.
Gleekedgal 1 year ago
@Gleekedgal You can see in the video obvious clues that suggests, he might actually understand it inside his head and didn't know how to or couldn't explain it. First, the lady was cutting him off before he had a chance to explain. Second, he keeps measuring as if he was trying to explain something, but he didn't know how to explain what he found out.
Gleekedgal 1 year ago
@Gleekedgal I think the lady's constant rushing for him to answer, he got momentarily confused or something and just picked the wrong answer. I think he actually understands it, because he was hesitant after he choose his answer. He probably gets it, but was rushed and pressured.
Gleekedgal 1 year ago
@Gleekedgal I'll agree the kids seem rushed. I imagine they went through a ton of children doing the same test. Like I said, the kid probably doesn't understand the concept of differing amounts to begin with, so he might not be "retarded". I use retarded enjoyably, as I don't think he actually is. Nevertheless, I don't see how you argue that he understands. Despite the "pressure" she's putting him under, the kid doesn't get a fucking thing from square 1. This kid can't be led into a right answer

I exaggerated to explain the point, that she talked right past him, she controlled his actions without letting the boy explaining it properly.Im pretty sure the boy got it, his problem just lies with the difinition "amount".
Also, you seem quite like the "smart" person refuting every claim here based on nothing.You know, im a kindergarten teacher, i know what im talking about, i've even done this with kids.Some get it at 3 years, some at 6, it really depends.
Bratcipheo 1 year ago
@Bratcipheo I don't really understand your point. I was just being a dick with the retarded thing, but I can't see how anyone would say the kid gets it. He doesn't. Are these two (identical) glasses the same? Answer: no.
Conclusion: retarded.
It seems to me like the kid isn't even listening to her. It's like his idea of tests are that people are trying to trick him. Maybe the kid thinks they expect him to get it wrong and therefore second guesses himself, I don't know.
MikoStanson 1 year ago
@MikoStanson so, you think everytime no matter what! If someone says no, it means no? No matter what the circumstances are? The kid gets it, you just can't see it. You just don't understand!

@Gleekedgal Pray, enlighten me, because I don't know what the hell you're talking about. When she says are these two glasses of water the same (which granted they aren't of course "identical" on a molecular level or whatever and have slightly different attributes and water content) you think the kid shakes his head no and it means yes? What the fuck kind of rocks are you smoking? You're right, I can't see, I think I need some of that shit your inhaling to see how no means yes. Please explain.

He doesn't know the answer. The average child does not develop the ability to understand this problem until around age 6. Then most children understand it. It indicates a stage in mental development.
Avealicious 1 year ago
@Gleekedgal You know you're right that when the kid shakes his head, looks hesitant for probably having no clue what is being asked of him, and then answers incorrectly which means he was correct? Okay, obviously evidence isn't enough for you and projecting your beliefs on some child wins the day. Also, I don't actually think you do drugs. I've never made so many comments about drug use that have been taken literally. What I mean is, you live in a fantasy world if you think you're right.
MikoStanson 1 year ago
@MikoStanson I guess my fantasy world is more realistic than your world! So, I still think I am right! You will never convince me to think otherwise just because of ONE video of the kid. Mentally retardation is can be identified solely by this test in your way of thinking, that is so freakin amazing and completely untrue! If a kid was asked what's 5x5 and he says 44, you may also think he's mentally retarded. What if he was nervous and under pressure?

@Gleekedgal You have no idea how much an answer can differ, just because one is under pressure!

Have you ever experienced laughter? Or been privy to sarcasm? I don't actually think the kid is retarded, but i know he doesn't get it. You are fucking insane. Even if he's nervous, and could get it, he doesn't, but you said he did - that is why you are crazy.

he is working off the idea of visual amount not actual volume he explains exactly what he is talking about at the end. hes basing the amount of water by the level of water he can see.the water is "higher" in the taller glass because its thinner which he explains. hes not retarded. i work with children this age as an art therapist, so i know what I'm talking about and i can tell when a child is mentaly handicapped. the woman is guiding him to the answer she wants, very unprofesional

The poster says, "A five year old boy doesn't understand that the water amount never changes even if the glass it is in does". Reification (look up "reification" in your dictionary) and preconception (adults think children are stupid; but that's false). The word is not the concept. The child probably DOES understand the CONCEPT of "amount", but he's interpreting the WORD "amount" to mean "height". His explanation is quite clear: "that glass is skinnier". Grade: D. (Bad science.) Stars: 2.
lonewolfintj 1 year ago 2
when i was i child i cut a piece of paper in half longways, but i wanted it longer, so i cut it in half again longways not realizing the length always stayed the same. it looked longer because it was skinnier.

its beacuse the term " amount" has not been assimlated in a concrete way. inthe childs mind
thus children assume that "amount" must infers a hight or size change . so since the hight the water reaches on the skinny glass is higher... it has more.

When u see kids have a fit just because the glasses are not the same size as their brother's even though u show them that u gave them both the same amount of juice, u will see that they don't understand how that works. If one glass looks fuller, to them it's fuller and has more! LOL!

I think this test is invalid for this kid. He didn't even think the glasses had equal amounts of water in the beginning. She had to tell him that they were equal. He nodded and seemed to accept what she was saying, but it was clearly not from his own observation. From the vacant look in his eyes I doubt he has even the slightest idea of how to respond to what's being asked of him.
