Abstract 1. Argues that a discrepancy exists between J. Kagan's conceptualization of
reflection-impulsivity and his operationalization of reflection-impulsivity using the Matching
Familiar Figures Test (MFF). A review of the literature reveals little clear evidence for the ...

Abstract 1. Because of the inadequate reliability of Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT)
error scores, a longer, more reliable version was developed. As a result of item analysis of
30 MFFT-type items, 20 were selected on the basis of item—total error correlations and ...

Visual scanning strategies of 9-year-olds were recorded as they performed on the Matching
Familiar Figures Test (MFF). While all groups used the same basic strategy of making
comparisons between the standard and 1 variant or between 2 variants, reflective and fast ...

Eye movements of 9-year-old Ss designated as impulsive or reflective were recorded while
the Ss were performing on three tasks: Task I-Matching Familiar Figures (MFF), Task II-
Differentiating Familiar Figures (DFF), and Task III-a second set of MFF problems. The ...

In an attempt to evaluate the psychometric credibility of the Matching Familiar Figures Test
(MFFT) as the operational measure of reflection-impulsivity, a study of the short-term (1
week) reliability of different versions of the MFFT for boys and girls at kindergarten, second ...

Abstract 1. Responds to various arguments advanced by J. Kagan and SB Messer (see
record 1975-21125-001) in their rebuttal to the present authors" review and research
focusing on the interpretation of the Matching Familiar Figures Test. On a number of the ...

Abstract 1. As part of an ongoing longitudinal study, Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT)
performance was assessed in 52 girls and 54 boys at age 11 yrs and related California
Child Q-Set evaluations obtained both concurrently and at age 14 yrs. Using hierarchical ...

Abstract Analyzed the Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) Test, which has been employed by
researchers to determine conceptual tempo, for potential use as a tool for the clinician. The
literature indicates that the test is valid in terms of range and structural clarity of ...
