Cognitive style was modified in a sample of 50 impulsive and 50 reflective fourth-grade boys. Subjects viewed a film-mediated model displaying a response style opposite to their own cognitive style. The specific cues in the model's behavior which facilitated shifts in cognitive style varied with the intellectual levels of the subject. (Author/WY)

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…

Fifty-two reflective and 64 impulsive first- and second-grade boys were presented with a number of stories in…
