Tests designed to measure conservation, visual memory, and static and anticipatory imagery (as defined by Piaget) were administered to first and second grade children. Low correlations were found between conservation and mental imagery. Conservation and memory correlated significantly with IQ; static and anticipatory imagery correlated significantly with chronological age. It was suggested that different mental processes may be involved in the development of anticipatory imagery and conservation.
