conservation experiments help

three and four year old children took part in a conservation experiment which involved being asked the same question twice. They then observed another child taking part in the same experiment. the researcher asked,'Why do you think the child answered in this way? Did she say that because that is what she really believed, or did she say it to please the adult?' When children gave an incorrect answer to the second question, many of the observers said they did so to please the adult. When they gave the correct answer, the observers often said they did so because they believed it. And many of the observers who said this had themselves given an incorrect answer in the second question.
