Time-of-Day Effects in Performance by Seventh Grade Students on Two Measures of Impulse Control.

Simpson, Madeline L.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v55 n1 p115-21 Aug 1982

The differential performance of boys and girls on selected measures of impulse control was examined. No differences were shown between morning and afternoon groups on two Tuesdays. Girls manifested circadian effects more, made fewer delayed-reward choices, and made less accurate time estimations. (Author/CM)
