Abstract
Forty eight subjects ranging in age from 64 to 85 years were administered Piagetian conservation of substance, weight, and volume tasks. Quantity conservation abilities were not intact from many subjects. Males tended to exceed females on all abilities. Correlations between age and performance were low; the relationship between education and performance was positive.Keywords
