  • Title: Reflection-impulsivity and WISC-R performance in behavior-problem children.
    Author: Finch AJ, Spirito A, Brophy CJ.
    Journal: J Psychol; 1982 Jul; 111(2d Half):217-21. PubMed ID: 7143264.
    Abstract:
    Forty-three emotionally disturbed children, ranging in age from 8 years, 3 months, to 15 years, 6 months, were divided into two groups, impulsive and reflective, on the basis of their cognitive style as measured by the Matching Familiar Figures Test and administered the Wechsler Intellectual Scale for Children-Revised. Reflective children scored significantly higher than the impulsive children on Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, Full Scale IQ, and Kaufman's Perceptual Organization factor. The two groups did not differ significantly on the Freedom from Distractibility or Verbal Comprehension factors. Results were discussed in terms of their relationship to previous findings, with particular attention to factor analytic research with behavior problem children that did not find a Freedom from Distractibility factor and could account for the present findings.
