Abstract
The effects of a probabilistic model on reflection-impulsivity cognitive style. The aim was to analyze the effects of the probabilistic model (PM) on the reflection-impulsivity dimension (R-I). Using the EMIC (a scale for measuring R-I), a sample of 106 girls were tested and classified as "impulsive" or "reflective". The dependent variables taken into account were measures of sustained attention, the G factor, academic achievement and behavioral scales. The PM was used to eliminate random responders and to observe its effect on the differences between "reflective" and "impulsive" girls. The results show that the PM limits the influence of capacity factors and it helps to situate R-I within the framework of cognitive styles.
