Conservation refers to the understanding that the amount of a substance remains the same even when its appearance changes. This understanding develops in the concrete operational stage, typically between 7 and 12 years of age. In this stage, children become capable of mental operations, including reversibility and classification, which are necessary for understanding conservation.
