Thirty-four boys and 30 girls in grades 2 and 3 were given a measure of conceptual tempo (the Design Recall Test) and a measure of level of aspiration. (Author/CL)

In this study with bilingual Chinese college students, faster subjects in a word-judging task had lower Raven's Progressive Matrices scores. The distinction between test response time and actual mental speed as a correlate of intelligence is discussed. (Author/SJL)

The reliability of the Matching Familiar Figures Test, a measure of reflection-impulsivity, with 20 impulsive learning disabled boys (mean age 10 years) was investigated. nAuthor)

The relationship between cognitive tempo and time estimation as measured by reproduction and production was investigated in boys. Impulsives underestimated time intervals more than reflectives when measured reproductively. Impulsive boys' response times were significantly correlated with their estimates of reproduction times. The physiological…

The Rorschach protocols of 20 boys (ages 6-11 years) rated by their teachers as hyperactive and those of 20 nonhyperactive boys were compared along 16 indices. Findings are discussed in terms of the assessment of hyperactivity within a conceptual framework which regards impulsivity as a major underlying dimension. (Author/SJL)

Examined the relationship between cognitive style and reading readiness in 104 kindergarteners before and after a visual discrimination treatment designed to modify conceptual impulsivity. Correlations were also obtained between errors and latencies on the Matching Familiar Figures Test and performance on the Metropolitan Readiness Test. No…

The study investigated the effects of modification of conceptual tempo on the skilled performance of a group of mildly intellectually handicapped adolescents (N=41) receiving training in a work preparation center. (CL)

The Matching Familiar Figures Test assesses the dimension of reflection-impulsivity in children. This study compares responses of a single sample to the established norms and adds intelligence quotient (IQ) for classification purposes. Analysis indicates that IQ significantly correlates with both latency and errors. (Author/CM)

A new auditory measure of cognitive style (reflective-impulsive), a standard measure and intelligence scores were related to college students' reading performance. Only intelligence and errors on the auditory test contributed significantly to the variance of the reading measures. The importance of auditory factors in understanding adults' reading…

This study compared 36 learning disabled school-grade children with 17 controls matched for mental age on the ability to inhibit hand movement. Using a "Move A Ball Slowly" game-like apparatus, responses suggested older rather than younger disabled children had more difficulty. (Author)

Using the Matching Familiar Figures Test and the Porteus Maze Tests with characteristic modifications, the feasibility of using measures of cognitive tempo were examined. The measures' contributions in predicting the work performance of institutionalized moderately-severely retarded subjects were no greater than conventional individual…

To ascertain predictive relationships between and within cognitive tempo and cognitive level characteristics of moderately retarded children, the Matching Familiar Figures Test and Essential Math and Language Skills Inventory were administered. No significant predictive relationship from cognitive tempo to level was indicated, but elements of…

In a study on cognitive style, reflectivity-impulsivity in response to task uncertainty was investigaged. At 44 months of age, 23 boys and 25 girls were tested on a matching-figures test. Correlations were made between number of errors, response time, intelligence, and sex. Results indicated that there were significant sex differences in preschool…
