They literally use more eye movements
: Various studies have documented these
tendencies in high-reactive children. See, for example, Jerome Kagan, “Reflection-
Impulsivity and Reading Ability in Primary Grade Children,” 
Child Development
363, no. 3
(1965): 609–28. See also Ellen Siegelman, “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
