“There is a native tendency to assimilate certain kinds of
conception at one age, and other kinds of conception at a later age.” (James 72)
In this statement, James affirms what Piaget postulated

She was able to explain that the volume of liquid had not changed even

of concrete operations.
Educators can learn from this is video they
should function as facilitators. As
facilitators, they allow students to experience equilibration with material
that is provided at the right time and at the appropriate skill level.
