Data from a current longitudinal study are utilized to determine mental ages of achievement for 21 Piagetian reasoning measures. Limitation due to sample size (75 normal, IQ 90-110; 75 retarded children, IQ 50-75) and age range (CA 6-20) make the study an exploratory one; however, findings serve to indicate the relationships between Piagetian stages and mental ages.
