More Misgivings about the Matching Familiar Figures Test as a Measure of Reflection-Impulsivity: Absence of Construct Validity in Preadolescence.
Block, Jack; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v22 n6 p820-31 Nov 1986
As part of a longitudinal study, Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) performance was assessed at age 11 and related to California Child Q-Sort evaluations obtained both concurrently and at age 14. Offers evidence for a "competence" interpretation rather than a "conceptual tempo" interpretation of the MFFT and strongly questions using the MFFT as an index of "reflection-impulsivity."
