Anooshian, Linda; Carlson, Jerry S. – Human Development, 1973
Tests designed to measure conservation, visual memory, and static and anticipatory imagery were administered to 1st and 2nd grade children. Conservation and memory correlated significantly with IQ. The different mental processes may be involved in the development of anticipatory imagery and conservation. (CS)
