This study investigates the effects of age, level of education, and institutionalization on the development of logical thinking. Seven Piagetian tasks, encompassing three levels of difficulty, were administered to 34 persons 68 years of age or older. A significant positive relationship was found between success on tasks and educational level. (Author)
