Abstract
243 Ibusa and Glasgow school children aged from about 6 to 12 years were given two classificatory tasks: the sorting of a collection of objects which were familiar to Ibusa children but not as familiar to Glasgow children, and the sorting of models of animals which were equally familiar to both groups. The results indicated that the degree of familiarity influenced classificatory behavior in some ways and that the overall trend of development was similar in both samples in both the tasks.

An adaptation of King's (1963) Piaget-type schedules was administered to 150 school children of the Hausa tribe of Northern Nigeria in eight groups drawn from very isolated rural localities, from city centres, and from areas of intermediate status, and the results strongly confirmed the expected superiority of the urban children.
