... two very different levels in relation to the theory of Piaget's stages of Cognitive Development. Jenny, unlike Bobby, may have trouble identifying the same amount of fluid in a differently shaped glass as the same amount, whereas Bobby may have no trouble at all. Jenny will tend to be much more egocentric than Bobby, while he has a perception of other's minds.

A five year-old would think the tall, thin glass has lest still in the Pre-operation stage, while the Concrete Operational stage would know that the volume is even.
