Abstrakt: The Concept Assessment Kit Conservation, in previous studies found to be a reliable indicator of conservation in the United States, was administered to approximately 250 children-25 boys and girls from each age group from 4 to 8 years-in each of the following countries: Australia, Holland, England, New Zealand, Poland, and Uganda. The results indicated that the age trends in conservation development for bothmales and females are fairly consistent from culture to culture. The rate of conservation acquisition differed somewhat across the samples studied. These variations are most likely due to specific environmental differences among the groups compared. The Concept Assessment Kit appears to be a reliable indicator of conservation across several cultural groups. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
