Postfailure Reflectivity/Impulsivity and Spontaneous Attention to Errors.
Shafrir, Uri; Pascual-Leone, Juan
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p378-87 Jun 1990
The ability of 378 elementary school students (aged 9-12 years) in Israel to extract "lawfulnesses" (invariants) from experience and to react to error by reexamining the problem and finding the error was studied on a self-paced inference task. Results are discussed in terms of postfailure reflectivity and postfailure impulsivity. (SLD)
