Decentering
the ability to adapt thought processes to fit what is perceived such as understanding that there can be more than one reason for other people’s actions. A preschooler might expect to see the same nurse in the morning who was there the evening before; a school-age child can understand that different nurses work different shifts.
Accommodation
the ability to appreciate that a change in shape does not necessarily mean a change in size. If you pour 30 mL of cough medicine from a thin glass into a wide one, the preschooler will say that one glass holds more than the other; a school-age child will say both glasses hold an equal amount.
Conservation
the ability to understand that objects can belong to more than one classification. A preschooler can categorize items in only one way, for example, such as stones and shells are found at the beach; a school-age child can categorize them in many ways such as stones and shells are both found at the beach but are made of different materials, are different in sizes, etc.
