Grade Children,” Child Development 363, no.

“Reflective and Impulsive Observing Behavior,”
Child Development 40, no. 4 (1969):
1213–22. These studies use the term “reflective”
rather than “high-reactive,” but
it’s a safe bet that they’re talking about the
same group of children. Siegelman describes
them as “preferring low-risk situations
generally but choosing harder, more
solitary intellectual tasks … less motorically
active, and more cautious” (p. 1214).
(Similar studies have been done on adults;
see chapters 6 and 7.)
