Objective: Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) and autistic-like traits (ALTs) may occur together in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to explore a possible association between SCT and ALTs in a sample diagnosed with ADHD. Method: A total of 147 children and adolescents with ADHD aged 6 to 14 were included in the study.…

This manuscript was originally delivered as the 2019 presidential address at the Ohio Valley Philosophy of Education Society annual meeting in September of that year. In this address, the author briefly distinguishes the Deweyan understanding of "impulsion" from that of "expression" as he discusses them in" Art as…

One of the essential problems, in educational data mining, is to predict students' performance on future learning materials, such as problems, assignments, and quizzes. Pioneer algorithms for predicting student performance mostly rely on two sources of information: students' past performance, and learning materials' domain knowledge model. The…

The purpose of this research study was to examine rates, recipients, and predictors of teen sexting. A sample of 314 high school students in an urban area of Southeast Michigan were surveyed. Males were more likely to engage in nearly all forms of sexting. Impulsivity, frequency of electronic communication, peer pressure, peer sexting, and peer…

To examine the relationship between reflection-impulsivity and creativity in hearing impaired and unimpaired elementary children, 26 hearing impaired and 16 hearing children (8-13 years old) were administered the Matching Familiar Figures Test and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. Correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the…

This study investigates journal keeping as an example of successful reflective leadership and management practice among administrators in government, business and education. Twelve participants were identified through peer nomination as effective senior level administrators. Onsite observations and indepth interviews were conducted. Participants…

The individual stylistic variations of creative potential and conceptual tempo were investigated in 61 preschool children. The Kansas Reflection Impulsivity Scale for Preschoolers (KRISP) was used to measure the reflective/impulsive (that is, creative tempo) dimension, and the Multidimensional Stimulus Fluency Measure (MSFM) was administered to…

The paper reviews research dealing with the process of reflective abstraction, analysis and modification of one's own behavior, in learning disabled students. A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that children with a working memory of three pieces of information, who are inclined to employ self-terminating processing strategies because of…

Temperament characteristics of 63 4- and 5-year-olds were assessed for the purpose of investigating the relationship between classifications of conceptual tempo and underlying personality factors. Subjects were classified as impulsive, reflective, fast accurate, and slow accurate on the basis of performance on Form A of Wright's (1971) Kansas…

The study examined the relationship between impulsivity and field-dependence in 44 prelingually deaf and 29 hearing males (6-15 years old). Impulsivity was assessed via the Matching Familiar Figures Tests, planning ability was assessed using the Porteus Maze Test Quotient, and field dependence was evaluated on the Children's Embedded Figures Test…

The study involving 170 children (3-6 years old) investigated attention as a construct of three components and as an integrated cognitive process. Literature was reviewed which related to the components of attention, the development of a theoretical model which synthesizes attentional components with an ongoing process, the development of…

The problem which this study addresses is the effects of cognitive style and variations in the free sort procedures on the sorting outcome of sorting time and number and quality of manifest partitions. This experiment was designed to look at the effects of the cognitive styles of field dependence, category width and equivalence range,…

A series of studies conducted to identify the factors that block and unblock problem solving is described. Through the construction of an isomorph of the classic "water jar" problems developed by A. S. Luchins (1942) as a dynamic graphic micro-world, several factors involved in producing blocked states were identified. Subjects included…

A study was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between the cognitive styles of learners and their ability to correctly identify previously seen pictorial materials presented in color or black and white. Fifty-three third and fourth grade students from the Pittsburgh Public School System served as subjects for the study. Testing…

The hypothesis was tested that highly anxious students invited to employ reflective learning strategies would spontaneously use a more reflective, less impulsive approach in solving response-oriented problems. A total of 53 fourth-grade students were administered the Child Anxiety Scale: 12 students were assigned to a high-anxiety treatment group,…
