The effects of a probabilistic model on reflection-impulsivity cognitive style

The effects of a probabilistic model on reflection-impulsivity cognitive style. The aim was to analyze the effects of the probabilistic model (PM) on the reflection-impulsivity dimension (R-I). Using the EMIC (a scale for measuring R-I), a sample of 106 girls were tested and classified as impulsive or <<reflective>>. The dependent variables taken into account were measures of sustained attention, the G factor, academic achievement and behavioral scales. The PM was used to eliminate random responders and to observe its effect on the differences between <<reflective>> and <<impulsive>> girls. The results show that the PM limits the influence of capacity factors and it helps to situate R-I within the framework of cognitive styles.
