This investigation was concerned with a re‐examination of the usually accepted negative correlation between intelligence and size constancy. Size estimates of three standards were obtained from two groups of school‐children of similar age but markedly different intelligence, and the incidence of over‐constancy and under‐constancy in different regions of a range of i.q. 's was critically considered. The four major conclusions were that knowledge of the laws of perspective influences reduction in under‐constancy, that under‐constancy as well as over‐constancy may occur with low as well as high i.q. 's, that over‐constancy appears to be the more usual and adaptive behaviour with higher cognitive development, and that significant changes away from under‐constancy are associated with higher intellectual levels
