Depth Picture Perception in Relation to Cognitive Style and Training in Non-Western Children.

Mshelia, Ayuba Yabilar; Lapidus, Leah Blumberg

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v21 n4 p414-33 Dec 1990

Tests of 172 fourth grade students in Zaria, Nigeria, supported the hypotheses that non-Western subjects' difficulties in judging depth in linear pictures are a function of individual perceptual organization, and that training could improve field independence and depth perception. Discusses child-rearing practices that may increase field independence. (DM)
