Learning and Memory of Field Independent-Dependent Individuals.

Davis, J. Kent; Frank, Bernard M.

Journal of Research in Personality, v13 n4 p469-79 Dec 1979

This review of the concept learning literature indicates that the greater effectiveness of field-independent learners is related to memory efficiency and the ability to conduct combinatorial analysis. Short-term memory and free recall studies suggest factors contributing to the less efficient memory of field-dependent learners. (Editor/SJL)
