Hidden Costs of Reflectiveness: Aspects of Successful Scientific Reasoning.
Duemler, David; Mayer, Richard E.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n4 p419-23 Dec 1988

Extremely reflective or extremely impulsive students on conventional problems performed worse on the unconventional problems than did those moderately reflective or impulsive on conventional problems.
