The present investigation was concerned with the question of whether or not the visual discrimination performances of primary-grade; conceptually impulsive school children could be modified by altering the directions and administration procedures of a visual discrimination match-to-sample test. An experimental/ control group, matched-subjects design was used, with 16 subjects matched for age randomly assigned to the treatment or control group. The data indicated that (a) an impulsive conceptual tempo can successfully be modified to improve visual discrimination test performance, and (b) it is quite possible to underestimate the visual discrimination capacities of young, impulsive children.
