Abstract
Conceptual relationships between Piaget's theory of cognitive developmental stages and Raven's ideas in the construction of his Colored Progressive Matrices Scale are noted. The intellectual interconnections provide a certain compatibility which allows for a practical, paper-and-pencil measurement. Hence, a method is described (based upon earlier factor analytic work) whereby a child's level of sophistication along the Piagetian thought continuum can easily be related to levels on Raven's Matrices.
