Comparison of cognitive tempo and time estimation by young boys.
The relationship between cognitive tempo and time estimation by young boys is investigated. Emphasis is on clarifying the physiological vs learned etiology of cognitive tempo on the assumption that a predilection to cortical excitation or inhibition can be indicated through time estimation. Significant differences between 20 impulsive and 20 reflective boys (aged 8--0 to 8--11) on estimates of reproduction time and a high correlation (-.49) between impulsive boys' response times and estimates of reproduction time were noted.
