From Grade 3, 45 impulsive and 45 reflective children were given a series of tasks involving either a convergent, a brainstorming, or a neutral control task. Latencies on the Matching Familiar Figures increased significantly for the convergent ( ns = 14 impulsive and 14 reflective) and control task groups ( ns = 17 impulsive and 17 reflective). Errors were unchanged. Additional development of a convergent task is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
