The ecological validity of three spatial ability tests was studied: The Embedded Figures Test, the Shepard/Metzler Mental Rotations Test, and the Differential Aptitude Spatial Relations subtest. The Building Memory Test was also examined in an attempt to replicate a previous study which supported its validity. These four tests were administered to…

Melancon, Janet G.; Thompson, Bruce – 1989
Classical measurement theory was used to investigate the measurement (psychometric) characteristics of both parts of the Finding Embedded Figures Test (FEFT) administered in either a "no guessing" supply format or a multiple-choice selection format to undergraduate college students or to middle school students. Three issues were…

Melancon, Janet G.; Thompson, Bruce – 1988
This study applied one-parameter latent trait measurement theory to investigate the measurement characteristics of both forms of a multiple-choice measure of field-independence--the Finding Embedded Figures Test (FEFT). The FEFT has a multiple-choice format that may facilitate administration and scoring in comparison with use of supply-format…

Investigated measurement characteristics of both forms of Finding Embedded Figures Test (FEFT). College students (N=302) completed both forms of FEFT or one form of FEFT and Group Embedded Figures Test. Results suggest that FEFT forms provide reasonable reliable and valid data. (Author/NB)

Daku, Joseph J. – 1978
The Group Embedded Figures Test and the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills were administered to 222 sixth grade students to explore the relationship between field-dependent/field-independent cognitive styles and reading achievement; scores from the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Tests were used to control IQ. The 60 students with the highest scores and the…
