A number of quantitative comparison tasks were designed to tap knowledge of injective and suijective correspondences, one-directiona] compositions (greater + greater yields greater), countervailing compositions (greater + lesser yields ?), and length-density relations in 4-to 7-year-olds.The results indicated that performance on the comparison tasks was related to performance on a number conservation test as well as to age.Nonconservers performed at better than chance levels on tasks that tapped an elementary knowledge of injective and surjective correspondences; concrete-operational children, however, tended perform better on all tasks.Uncorrected and disattenuated correlation coefficients revealed considerable consistency across measures.Factor analyses, with and without age included, yielded a unitary factor.An explanation of the results based on perceptual salience was ruled out
