The purpose to examine the role of memory on the performance in length-transitivity tasks, with seven sticks as stimulus, by five year and four year old children, and examine whether solution of the transitivity task by non-transitive strategy is possible. In both Experiment I and Experiment II, the possibility was disproved that the transitivity task was solved by means of labels attached to each stick or by remembering the length of each stick. Furthermore, in Experiment I, five year olds could solve the transitivity problem if its premises were fully retained, while four year olds could not do so. Differences are suggested, between the two age groups in their ability to make correct choices on the transitivity task from the memory of its premises, and that transitivity performance cannot be described as a function of memory.
