Answer 1

Answer: Conservation

Explanation: Conservation is a term in psychology that refers to the ability, in this case, of children, to perceive that quantity will remain the same if poured into glasses of different shapes or sizes. As these children find it difficult to realize that the same amount is poured into glasses of different sizes, their mother, in order to avoid having children face the difficulty of reasoning rationally about conservation, pours chocolate milk into glasses of identical shape and size.
