Abstract

To examine the role of the visual searching strategy on Kagan's Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) test, third-grade children who were judged as impulsive or reflective were given a training of elimination or re-examination strategy. Only the impulsive children who were given the elimination strategy made significantly fewer errors on post-test than controls, without increase in latency. It is concluded from these results that one of the main factors explaining the differences between the reflective and the impulsive children in the MFF performance is the differences in the use of strategy: The reflective children adopt the elimination strategy during MFF testing, while the impulsives lack it.
