Reversibility refers to a child's ability to understand that certain changes can be reversed or undone. This is a key concept in Piaget's theory of cognitive development, and is related to the idea of conservation, as conservation tasks often require the child to recognize that a change can be undone (for example, pouring water from a tall, narrow glass into a short, wide glass does not change the amount of water). Classification and representation refer to other cognitive abilities, but are not specifically related to the idea of reversibility.
