Abstract
DR BRYANT replies: Youniss and Furth make three main criticisms of our article1, all of which seem to me to be misguided. The criticisms are that we did not manipulate the memory variable, that the inferences which we detected may have been “sub-logical” and dependent on imagery and that Piaget's techniques did not involve memory and therefore are not open to the criticism which we make of them. I shall take these points in order.
