Abstract

An impulsive conceptual tempo has been shown to be a factor affecting performance on some learning tasks. The purpose of this study was to determine if a visual discrimination treatment could alter the effects of an impulsive response style on performance on a readiness measure. Thirty-two impulsive first grade boys were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. Experimental Ss received 20 days of visual discrimination training. Posttest scores on a readiness measure showed significant differences between experimental and control Ss. It was concluded that visual discrimination training could compensate for impulsive response style.
