Abstract

Testing of a probabilistic model for the analysis of the Reflective-Impulsive cognitive styles was carried out on 178 school-age children. The model allows the sample be split into two groups of Cognitive Responders and Random Responders. Comparisons were made between groups at three age levels (8-yr., 10-yr., and 12-yr.-olds). Analysis indicated that Cognitive Responders scored better than Random Responders on a variety of measures, and group differences were related to children's developmental status. These results replicate and extend previous research with this model. Implications of random responses for research on reflection-impulsivity and the distinction between cognitive styles and cognitive development are discussed.
