British Journal of Educational Psychology 52 (1982):244-257. One of the methods for testing this cognitive style involves administration of the Matching Familiar Figures Test, which requires subjects to view a picture of an object and then attempt to match the object when presented with the same object in a group of similar objects.

Leveling and sharpening is a cognitive style that represents the way in which an individual uses previous memories when attempting to assimilate new information with prior knowledge. No differences between the two groups were found in metacognitive knowledge.

“This will contribute to potentially many people having these kinds of tendencies, but to the extent it contributes, it contributes a small amount,” he said.

1 (1978):91-96. Reflectivity and impulsivity are polar ends of a spectrum in a third and very substantial cognitive style. You can be signed in via any or all of the methods shown below at the same time. We excluded from the original group those with an IQ below 75 on both the Verbal and Performance subscales on the short form of the WISC–R, those reported by teachers to have a severe learning disability, and those that did not complete the test battery due to long absences from school.

Given that these differences in reflectivity-impulsivity are apparent as early as preschool, it is fascinating to consider developing classrooms that provide equal opportunities for learning and demonstration of application to students at both ends of this spectrum. People who are slower than the median, but score more accurately than the median, are considered to be "reflective."

From there, each subject took some of the other tests to measure how strongly their discount rate was associated with their degree of cognitive effort or deliberation in other categories of situations.

These same students also have a more global approach to information processing and do not identify the parts of a whole as readily as their peers. An impulsive cognitive style comes with implications, researchers say A new study finds a wide range of subtle but measurable tendencies in the thinking of people who would rather snatch a quick reward than wait for a bigger one. Witkin, Herman A., C. A. Moore, Donald R. Goodenough, and P.W.

The implications of these data are discussed.

Nevertheless, an individual's ability to acquire knowledge on an equal plane with peers, or to demonstrate his or her knowledge in specific social or academic settings, may be affected by cognitive styles.

The more impulsive subjects were more likely to believe that other people can be defined by a stable character that will generalize to many contexts (e.g.

3 (1981):255-260.

People with high discount rates (i.e. impulsive people) tended to engage in more intuitive, but less thoughtful, approaches than people with lower discount rates (i.e. Effects of Noise on English Listening Comprehension among Chinese Coll...
