Direct linkViterbori, Paola; Traverso, Laura; Usai, M. Carmen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
This study investigated the roles of different executive function (EF) components (inhibition, shifting, and working memory) in 2-step arithmetic word problem solving. A sample of 139 children aged 8 years old and regularly attending the 3rd grade of primary school were tested on 6 EF tasks measuring different EF components, a reading task and a…

Both between- and within-group differences in children ages nine to eleven identified as having reflective or impulsive cognitive tempos. Cognitive tempo was first assessed using Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures test, and children were later tested on the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices. (Author/RH)

Peer reviewedDillon, Ronna F.; Donow, Carolyn – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
College undergraduates were given Zelniker and Jeffrey's modification of the Matching Familiar Figures Test to assess its psychometric credibility and construct validity for adult problem solvers. The modified test has improved internal consistency and stability over the original. The construct's possible correlation with general problem solving…

Peer reviewedMitchell, Christine; Ault, Ruth L. – Child Development, 1979
In terms of Kagan's theory of the problem-solving process, this study explores the relationship between reflection-impulsivity, hypothesis generation and testing, and evaluation of the quality of one's own solutions among children approximately 8 to 12 years old. (JMB)

Peer reviewedHeckel, Robert V.; And Others – Journal of Psychology, 1981
Measures of latency and accuracy and self-ratings of performance on Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) were found to significantly differentiate between college students self-rated as high- and low-success problem solvers. Results suggest a need for training low-success, impulsive problem solvers in more effective problem-solving…

Peer reviewedButter, Eliot J.; Snyder, Frederick R. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Third grade children (n=24) who were administered the standard, simultaneous version of the Matching Familiar Figures test committed fewer errors when administered a sequential version of the same test than did subjects (n=24) who took the more difficult sequential version first. (PN)

Puustinen, Minna; Kokkonen, Marja; Tolvanen, Asko; Pulkkinen, Lea – Learning & Individual Differences, 2004
The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between students' (100 children aged 8 to 12) help-seeking behavior and impulsivity. Help-seeking behavior was evaluated using a naturalistic experimental paradigm in which children were placed in a problem-solving situation and had the opportunity to seek help from the experimenter, if…

Peer reviewedvan Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Describes two experiments, one with undergraduates and one with high school students, that tested instructional strategies for teaching computer programing. The cognitive styles of impulsivity and reflection are examined, completion strategy versus generation strategy is tested, and results support a preferential model rather than a compensatory…
