Answer:

TWO YEARS AGO, a group of Ugandan chimps provided a blow to the idea that humans are the only animals that truly behave selflessly to one another. These chimps showed clear signs of true selflessness, helping both human handlers and other unrelated chimps with no desire for reward.

The question of why we help each other, instead of looking out for ourselves, is one of the most compelling in modern biology. Evolutionary and game theory alike predict that selfish behaviour should be the rule with altruism the exception, and animal experiments have largely supported this idea. Nature, ‘red in tooth and claw’, is painted as a fierce competition between selfish individuals and their even more selfish genes. In this stark landscape, true altruism is apparently a rare quality and some scientists believe that it’s one

According to Piaget, children have acquired the cognitive skill of conservation when they're able to
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. understand the viewpoint of other people.

B. realize that the term heavy describes an object one way and the term big describes it another way

C. understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Piaget proposed the theory of cognitive development, which talks about how human intelligence is developed. Piaget worked with Children because he believed they played a significant role in the development of cognitive intelligence. Based on his work, he proposed four stages of cognitive development viz: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational stages.

However, in the preoperational stage, Piaget described children between ages 2-7 as being in this stage of cognitive development where they are yet to comprehend mental logic. One characteristics of this stage is CONSERVATION, which is the ability to know that changing a substance's appearance doesn't change the properties of that substance. Piaget proposed that Children between the ages of 2-7 lacked this conservative characteristics.

He performed an experiment where he used two beakers with the same amount of liquid. He then emptied the contents of one of the previous beakers into a new beaker with different shape (longer). Piaget was able to notice that Children at the pre-operational stage were unable to understand that the contents of the two beakers (longer one and previous beaker) were still the same despite the beaker has been changed.

Hence, according to Piaget, a child has acquired the cognitive skill of conservation when he/she is able to understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.
