Measurement of Rod-and-Frame Test Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Allen, Mary J.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Adults took the Rod and Frame, Portable Rod and Frame, and Embedded Figures Tests. Absolute and algebraic frame-effect scores were more reliable and valid than rod-effect algebraic scores. Correlations with the Embedded Figures Test were so low that the interchangeability of these field articulation measures is questionable. (Author/RD)

Green, Kathy E. – 1989
The psychometric utility of six experimental cognitive style (CS) measures was analyzed. Examinees were 1,135 clients of the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation who, during 1985, completed at least one of the six CS tests. Information is provided on measure reliability; relationships among CS measures; relationships with standard battery aptitude…

The Role of Stimulus-Size on Performance in the Embedded-Figures-Test and in the Rod-and-Frame-Test and the Implications of This Role for the Perceptual and Cognitive Style Constructs in Educational Technology Research.
Streibel, Michael J. – 1981
Three experiments were performed in which subjects were exposed to two sizes of the Embedded Figures Test (EFT), and subjects in the third experiment were also exposed to two sizes of the Rod and Frame Test (RFT). In the first experiment, where the EFT had a size differential of 1 to 4, a nonsignificant size effect and a significant rank…

Assessing Individual Differences in Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Saracho, Olivia N. – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1982
Cognitive styles characterize individuals' personalities as well as their social and cognitive functioning. An assessment of cognitive style can present another dimension of individual differences in children as the basis for planning and evaluating early childhood programs. (Author/LC)

Hemispheric Correlates of the Rod-And-Frame Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Berlin, Donna F.; Languis, Marlin L. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Right-handed sixth graders were administered the WISC Block Design and verbal and nonverbal versions of the Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT), measuring field dependence/independence. Results seemed to reflect a right hemisphere processing for the nonverbal RFT and a possible sex bias against girls in its traditional verbal administration. (Author/SJL)

The Construct Validity of the Rod and Frame Test.
Schroeder, David H. – 1991
This study examined the construct validity of the Rod and Frame Test (RFT). Subjects were 554 clients (269 males and 285 females) (aged 14 to 65 years) of the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF), a vocational guidance service. In a battery of diverse ability and style tests (19 tests of the JOCRF battery and 4 tests of cognitive style),…

Age, Sex, Training, and the Measurement of Field Dependence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morell, Jonathan A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1976
This study was designed to examine the effects of age and sex on susceptibility to field dependence training and to determine whether the field dependence phenomenon is a function of cognitive style or of a general inability to make correct judgments because of confusing and inaccurate information.
