Educational Psychology / Unit 8 EDP 0726 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Impulsivity and Reflectivity
Captions available
The idea
An impulsive style works quickly at the cost of accuracy; a reflective style works slowly and carefully. Reflection helps in mathematics and some reading, while spontaneity helps in group discussion and team play.
In practice
One student blurts the first answer; another checks every step before answering.
Where people slip
Neither style is better in general; each suits different tasks.
