The question presented tests the child's understanding of conservation, which is the ability to understand that despite changes in appearance, an object's properties (such as volume) remain the same. The child is presented with the opportunity to recognize that although the liquid's appearance has changed, its volume remains the same. This is a key milestone in a child's cognitive development. The question does not test for the mastery of other cognitive schemas or more advanced reasoning abilities.
