The Relationship

This study concerned the relationship of field dependence and differentially color-coded materials (black-and-white and colored) with 56 male students' achievement. Significant differences were found in favor of the 21 field-independent men on the Total Criterion Test. Nonsignificant differences were found on the color-coding variable. A surprising and unexpected result was that the field-dependent men who viewed the black and white materials scored significantly higher than the 4 who viewed the color-coded materials.

Rod And Frame

Rod-and-frame errors are thought to reflect differential abilities in selective attention. For this reason a study of the relationship of field dependence to distraction should involve Ss whose field-dependence scores have been determined specifically by the rod-and-frame test. It is thought that discrepancies in the results of previous work might be accounted for by lack of consistent use of these scores. The present study involved distraction in a simple reaction-time paradigm using 10 field-dependent and 10 field-independent Ss. There was no correlation between distraction and field dependence although it may be that a larger difference in field-dependence scores between groups is required to detect differences in susceptibility to distraction.

To assess the impact of instructional color coding on visually and verbally oriented tests and on field-dependent-independent subjects, undergraduate college students (119) were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (color—black and white). These subjects received their respective treatment and received four dependent measures measuring four different types of educational objectives. Results indicated that the subject's level of field dependence is an important instructional variable and that color coding is an effective variable for maximizing information acquisition levels for field dependent over oriented subjects.

The Relationship

In this technological age, sight must not be lost in recognizing individual differences in applying technology to the instructional process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between achievement of field-dependent and field-independent students using microcomputer instruction. T-test was calculated on mean posttest scores to analyze the difference between the groups. There was a significant difference at the 0.5 level in testing the null hypothesis of no difference between the groups in this study.

Rod And Frame

Using conventional scoring procedures for the Rod-and-frame Test (RFT), extraversion was shown to interact with field-dependence (defined by scores on the Hidden-shapes Test), with the field-dependent extraverts being most inaccurate performers on the rod and frame. Of greater importance, serious questions were raised about theoretical and empirical aspects of the relationship between paper-and-pencil measures of field-dependence and performance on the rod and frame, and it was concluded that “what has … been demonstrated over the past ten years is the reliability of a relationship of questionable validity.”

Relevant Material

Field-dependent individuals are known to be superior to field-independent individuals at recognizing socially relevant material in an incidental learning paradigm. The present study tested the hypothesis that this superiority is moderated by the target-relatedness of distractors. The stimuli were trait names. To assess recognition memory a recognition list was used with distractors differing in degrees of relatedness to the targets. Results indicate that the relationship of field-dependence to false recognition of distractor traits is moderated by the target-relatedness of the latter.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between field dependence and short-term memory. It was predicted that relatively field-independent individuals would perform better on short-term memory tests in which a large amount of interference is assumed to be present than would individuals who are more field-dependent. Subjects' appraisals of their own attentional facility, as well as their thoughts and feelings about the experimental tasks, were also elicited, and were looked at in terms of their relationship to field dependence and short-term memory.

This study involved an investigation of the relationships between visual and auditory autokinetic phenomena. An apparatus was designed to obtain quantifiable records of the perceived auditory autokinetic loudness and pitch effects. Several methods were devised to score these records. When the auditory and visual autokinetic scores were correlated, all of the obtained coefficients were positive, four correlations were significant at the .05 level (only one was expected by chance), and one correlation at the .01 level. Some associated unanswered questions were discussed to indicate certain problems for future investigation. The statistical analyses indicated a tentative affirmation of the hypothesis that both the auditory and visual autokinetic phenomena are to a significant extent determined by a central, relatively stable perceptual style. The relationship of this perceptual style to other stable character traits has been suggested by Voth and Mayman (18). They have reviewed some of the major dichotomous character typologies (e.g., extroversion-introversion, field dependent-field independent, etc.) in relation to the visual autokinetic effect. Although further discussion of these aspects is beyond the scope of this paper, Voth and Mayman propose psychotherapeutic as well as heuristic significance to their findings which future study may further validate.

This paper aimed at investigating the relationship of cognitive styles withstudents’ academic achievement in the subject of science at elementary level. Asample of 511 students, studying in 8th class, was taken from five Pakistani publicsector secondary schools. The data collected through the study instruments wereanalyzed by using Pearson product moment correlation, partial correlation and ttest. Results indicate that male students tended to be more field dependent, whilefemale students were more inclined towards field independence and the lowachievers were found to be field dependent while high achievers tended to be fieldindependent. Results have many implications for teachers, e.g. teachers may helpfield dependent children act more field independently to achieve well in thosesubject areas where field independence is required.

Relationships between 84 field-dependent subjects and 84 field-independent subjects, posture, and judgment of duration of time were examined. An analysis of variance yielded no significant difference between the two groups of subjects in the judgment of a 40-sec. interval while in the standing, sitting, or horizontal postures or in the comparison of the three postures. Mean judgments of durations became larger from standing to sitting to horizontal postures and over trials for the three postures. It was suggested that the lengthening of the judgment of the 40-sec. interval could be related to a decrease in kinesthetic stimulation with a resultant increase in muscular relaxation which led to a decrease in vigilance.
