Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Samantha is aware that her children have not yet developed the concept of conservation, which is the understanding that the amount of a substance remains the same even if its shape or appearance changes. By giving both children identical glasses, she is preventing them from perceiving one glass as having more juice than the other based on its shape or size.
