Colin's answer suggests that he does not understand the concept of conservation. In Piaget's theory, conservation refers to the understanding that certain properties of an object (such as its amount, volume, or number) remain the same even if its appearance is altered. Colin's response to Mrs. Weston's question suggests that he does not understand that cutting a sandwich into two pieces does not change the total amount of food.
