In the Caribbean an ever-increasing number of interested individuals whose ages extend over a wide range have been seeking entry to regional tertiary institutions in their pursuit of higher education.

Four chronologically different groups of students -- two from a private secondary school and two from the University - were administered a spatial analogy test and a coding test.

The relationships between the two tests range from low negative for the youngest group to positively significant for the oldest group.
