其他摘要:The validation of the Salkind and Wrights (1977) system for the classification of reflexivityimpulsivity was carried out. The Spanish adaptation of the Matching Familiar Figures Test-20 for the evaluation of reflexivity-impulsivity (Buela-Casal, Carretero-Dios, De los Santos-Roig & Bermudez 2000b) was applied to a total of 304 participants, 8 to 11 years old. In order to classify a child as impulsive or as reflexive, traditionally a division system by the medium level had been used: a child is classified in relation to hislher position aboye or below the midium level of the reference group, in errors and latencies. In this way four groups were obtained: reflexive (above in latency and below in errors), impulsive (above in errors and below in latency) and low-unaccurate and fast-accurate. The Salkind and Wrights system allows to give acontinuous score in style (reflexivity-impulsivity) and competence (efficiency-inefficiency), without having to classify the children in oppossing categories. A series of suppositions concernig the correspondence of both classificatory systems are presented. If they are accomplished, the conclusion support the Salking and Wrights system. The present study presented confirms these suppositions.
