In order to examine the generality of reflection-impulsivity, 51 5-6-year-olds were given, in addition to Kagan's MFF, a tactual-visual matching task (TVM) of geometric shapes and two conceptual matching tasks: Referential communication with inadequate message where the child as receiver had to ask questions to make a correct choice, and a revised version of Olson's conceptual pattern matching. Latency and error measures of MFF and TVM were all significantly correlated to each other. Among the 24 correlations between these 4 measures from the perceptual tasks and 3 measures each from conceptual ones, i. e., amount of instrumental information-seeking, number of errors and number of guesses, 21 had the expected signs (+, -) and 9 were significant in the expected direction. Partialing out verbal ability made only 2 of the 9 insignificant.
