Abstrakt: For 31 white preschool children of the University Child Development Laboratory and their parents measures given were Piagetian tasks for cognitive performance and Coate's Preschool Embedded Figures Test for cognitive style and a demographic questionnaire for parents. Pearson correlations of cognitive performance with cognitive style of young children and performance differences by children's sex and age, and parental income were estimated. Significant values between cognitive performance and cognitive style were noted. No significant differences by sex of children or by parental income were found. Developmental differences by age of children were noted for both cognitive performance and style. Possible value of such information for parents and teachers was suggested.
