It can be inferred from the passage that, while very small children depend more on what they see to form a concept of their environment, older children ----.
The young child's reliance on visual impressions is
made clear by an experiment on the conservation of
number. If two rows of checkers are matched one for
one against each other, young children will say,
correctly, that the rows have the same number of
checkers. If the checkers in one row are brought
closer together to form a cluster, 5-year-olds say
there are now more checkers in the straight row
– even though no checkers have been removed. The
visual impression of a long row of checkers overrides
the numerical equality that was obvious when the
checkers appeared in matching rows. In contrast, 7-
year-olds assume that if the number of objects was
equal before, it must remain equal. At this age,
numerical equality has become more significant than
visual impression.
