This study was conducted to investigate the cognitive styles of 48-72 month old children and whether their cognitive styles vary by different variables. Data collection tools include Personal Information Form, which was used to determine the demographic characteristics of children, and The Kansas Reflection-Impulsivity Scale Form A (KRISP-A), which was used to examine children's cognitive styles. The study group consisted of 413 children aged 48-72 months who attended pre-school education institutions in Keçiören district of Ankara province during 2018-2019 academic year. The data were analyzed by Mann Whitney U-test and Kruskall Wallis test. As a result of the study, it was observed that the cognitive style scores of the children showed an aggregation below the average. Response time scores did not show significant variation by the variables. On the other hand, a significant difference was found in the number of errors in terms of school type, children’s gender and parental education level. In terms of cognitive style types of the children participating in the study, rapid corrector was the most in number and slow false was the least.
