The objective of this study was to find out whether there is any correlation between cognitive style and student’s reading comprehension. The researcher limited the cognitive style in this study in Field Dependence and Field Independence. For example, students with Field dependence tend to have low reading comprehension because they difficult to construct their own perception and to find the information that not exactly written in the text.  The research design was correlational research. The population of this research was 271 students of Eleventh Grade of SMAN 3 Batam in the Academic Year 2015/2016. The population was selected simple random sampling technique. Embedded Figure Test (EFT) and Reading comprehension test were used as the instrument of this research. Then the researcher analyzed the correlation by using Spearman Ranked Correlation formula to correlate both cognitive style (variable X) and students reading comprehension (variable Y). The result showed that Zcountedis 5.157 and Ztableis 1.96. It means Zcountedis greater than Ztableand Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The researcher found out that there was a significant correlation between cognitive style and student’s Reading Comprehension at Eleventh Grade of SMAN 3 Batam in the Academic Year 2015/2016.Keywords : cognitive style, field dependence, field independence and reading comprehension.

Background: The effectiveness of team interaction is often assessed through sociometric indicators, namely sociometric status and emotional reciprocity. At the same time, interpersonal interaction is a cognitive process, since it includes such mental processes as perception, categorization, thinking, speech, etc., which serve for information processing. These individual differences in the way information is processed underlie the concept of cognitive styles. Therefore, cognitive styles can hypothetically be considered as characteristics of interpersonal interaction and a predictor of its effectiveness. Aim: The paper aims to determine the sociometric characteristics of the effectiveness of team interaction of persons with different degree of the field-dependent cognitive style. Materials and methods. To assess field-dependence/field-independence, the Gottschaldt Embedded Figures method was used. The effectiveness of team interaction was assessed using the Moreno small group study method. Statistical analysis was performed with the Mann-Whitney test using IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Results. It was found that persons with a mobile field-dependent cognitive style had a significantly higher hierarchical position and a stable position in the system of nterpersonal relations compared with persons with a polar field-dependent cognitive style. Evidence was obtained on the splitting of field dependence into polar field-dependent and mobile field-dependent styles. Conclusion. Field-dependence/field-independence can be considered as one of the basic inner qualities of a person's intellectual activity, which influences his/her behavior and interpersonal communication.

The relationship between cognitive style and illusion magnitude was examined using the assimilation and contrast Delboeuf distortions. As in previous research, field dependence correlated positively with assimilation; however, a significant negative correlation with contrast was also found, suggesting that, while field dependence may involve the illusory integration of the stimulus field, field independence may involve its equally illusory differentiation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the possible interactions of aptitude and treatment between (a) two teaching strategies and the cognitive styles of field-dependence and field-independence and (b) two modes of evaluation and the same cognitive styles. Subjects high on the cognitive style scale scored higher on all the posttests. However, no interactions of treatment and cognitive style were found. A significant interaction of sex and treatment occurred on measures of affect and motivation. It shows that female subjects preferred the passive-responding treatment over the active-responding treatment. They worked harder on their preferred treatment and also reached significantly higher performance scores. The exact opposite was true for the males who preferred, worked harder, and obtained higher performance scores with the active-responding treatment. The expected interaction between the cognitive styles and the modes of evaluation was not observed.

Анализируются характеристики параметров языковой личности на основе концепции когнитивных стилей. Дается детальное описание стиля «полезависимость/поленезависимость» и методики выявления полюсов этого стиля. Исследуются языковые реализации текстовой репродуктивной деятельности респондентов. Рассмотрен экспонентный уровень языковой личности - семантикосинтаксические особенности вторичной вербализации текста носителями данного когнитивного стиля. The article describes parameters of the linguistic persona within the concept of cognitive styles. The opposite poles of the field-dependency style continuum are characterized, as well as the techniques of detecting respondent belonging to the poles. The author characterizes language manifestations of the respondent textual reproduction activities. The exponential level of the linguistic persona is described from the angle of the semantic-syntactic features of the secondary text verbalization by the style holders.

The objectives of this study were to examine whether (1) the students’ achievement on reading comprehension taught by using CSR Strategy is higher than that of taught by using REAP Strategy, (2) reading comprehension achievement of reflective cognitive style is higher than reading comprehension achievement of impulsive cognitive style, and (3) there is interaction between teaching strategies and cognitive styles on students’ achievement on reading comprehension. This study was conducted by using experimental research with factorial design 2X2. The data were analyzed by using Two-Way ANOVA. Based on the analysis, there were found that (1) CSR and REAP strategy significantly affect students’ achievement on reading comprehension, students’ achievement on reading comprehension taught by using CSR is higher than that of the students’ taught by using REAP; (2)the achievement on reading comprehension of the students with reflective cognitive style is higher than that of the students with impulsive cognitive style; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching strategies and cognitive style on students’ reading comprehension achievement. It showed that students who read with reflective cognitive style got higher result than students who read with impulsive cognitive style if they were taught by CSR, and students who read with reflective cognitive style got higher  result than students who read with impulsive reflective style if they were taught by REAP.
