The conservation tasks (and hence Piaget's theory) have been criticized on a number of fronts in regards to research methods. Many studies have looked at variations of the conservation tasks and how these variations affect children's responses.
Exact conservation laws include conservation of mass-energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge. There are also many approximate conservation laws, which apply to such quantities as mass , parity , [ 1 ] lepton number , baryon number , strangeness , hypercharge , etc.
The baryon number was defined long before the quark model was established, so rather than changing the definitions, particle physicists simply gave quarks one third the baryon number. Nowadays it might be more accurate to speak of the conservation of quark number .
Lepton number is an additive quantum number, so its sum is preserved in interactions (as opposed to multiplicative quantum numbers such as parity, where the product is preserved instead). The lepton number L {\displaystyle L} is defined by L = n ℓ − n ℓ ¯ , {\displaystyle L=n_{\ell }-n_{\overline {\ell }},} where
Conservation refers to the ability to determine that a certain quantity will remain the same despite adjustment of the container, shape, or apparent size. [1] Other conservation tasks include conservation of number, substance, weight, volume, and length. Perhaps the most famous task indicative of centration is the conservation of liquids task.
Absolutely conserved quantum numbers in the Standard Model are: electric charge (Q) weak isospin (T 3) baryon number (B) lepton number (L) In some theories, such as the grand unified theory, the individual baryon and lepton number conservation can be violated, if the difference between them (B − L) is conserved (see Chiral anomaly).
Conservation of the leptonic numbers means that the number of leptons of the same type remains the same, when particles interact. This implies that leptons and antileptons must be created in pairs of a single generation. For example, the following processes are allowed under conservation of leptonic numbers:
Numerical cognition is a subdiscipline of cognitive science that studies the cognitive, developmental and neural bases of numbers and mathematics.As with many cognitive science endeavors, this is a highly interdisciplinary topic, and includes researchers in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and cognitive linguistics.
