To answer this question correctly, you need to understand the concepts of "maturation" and "cognitive" and how they relate to Jean Piaget's contributions to developmental and learning theory.
To start, you can click on the provided link (http://www.answers.com) to look up the definitions of maturation and cognitive. Once you are on the website, you can use the search bar to type in the words "maturation" and "cognitive" and find their definitions.
After understanding the definitions of these two terms, you can then read the paragraphs at the end of the biography of Piaget to see which one of these concepts aligns with his contributions to developmental and learning theory.
In reference to your six-year-old struggling with the conservation of volume vs. tallness, this falls under the domain of cognitive development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development focuses on how children construct knowledge about the world through their experiences, including their understanding of volume, size, and quantity. The concept of conservation, which is the ability to understand that certain properties of an object can remain the same despite changes in appearance or arrangement, is a key component of cognitive development.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "cognitive."
