However because the study relies on younger children having animism, the teddy is used. But if comparative studies were undertaken then older children would needed to be asked differently and so results for conservation could be affected. The use ‘Naughty Teddy' may be distracting the child away from concentrating to the change of counters and therefore the answer given is not a true account of what the child
