Each of 130 children was given visual-matching problems involving designs and pictures and reading-recognition tests at the end of the first and second grade. Ss with fast response times and high error scores on the visualmatching tests (impulsive children), in contrast to Ss with long decision times and low error scores (reflective children), made more errors in reading English words on both occasions.
