Is the More Impulsive Child a More Holistic Processor? A Reconsideration.

Smith, J. David; Nelson, Deborah G. Kemler

Child Development, v59 n3 p719-27 Jun 1988

This study contrasted two possible relations between reflection-impulsivity and analytic or holistic modes of processing. Although impulsive children were more holistic in the classification task, they made more errors than reflectives on matching tests, regardless of whether the content favored holistic processing.
