LI Shouxin and SONG Guangwen

Abstract

The Embedded Figure Test (EFT) was used to examine the cognitive styles of 254 senior middle school students. The results indicated that: 1) The development of cognitive styles of senior middle school students was relatively stable. 2) There was a significant sex difference in the development of cognitive styles of senior middle school students. 3) The classification of science and art classes did not have significant influence on the students' cognitive styles of development. 4) There was no significant relation between the students' cognitive styles (field dependence-independence) and their Chinese language achievement and mathematics achievement.
Keywords: Cognitive Styles; Field Dependence-Independence; Senior Middle School Students; Sex Differences
