摘要：Luria, A. reported that one of the functions of verbal behavior is the control of motor behavior, and that this function is prominent in early childhood. The purpose of this study was to c1arify the relationship between self-verbalization and the contro1of motor behavior in 25, 5-year-old impulsive children (as assessed by Kagan's Matching Familiar test), with an additiona1 26 reflective children used as a control group. In order to assess the effects of self-verbalization on motor behavior, children were tested jumping from hoop to hoop in 3 patterns. First, the instructor gave a series of instructions and the children were asked to behave accordingly. Next, giving the same instructions, the children were asked to repeat the instructions before jumping to the next hoop. The children were t6sted for speed and accuracy during their movement through each pattern. The working hypothesis -that self-verbalization is effective in increasing accuracy in impu1sive children-was supported. The results indicate that impulsive children respond to the semantic aspects of their self-verbalization. This supports the conclusion made in a report by Meacham, J.A: that "Self-verbalization makes the goals of motor behavior clearer and more precise". Though response time and number of errors were specifically examined in this study, several other characteristic behaviors of impulsive children through self-verbalization were observed (i.e.Impu1sive children often jumped in a random pattern, thus increasing the time of the test while reflective children consistently jumped in a logical order).
