Peer reviewedLockheed, Marlaine E.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
Described are the development and concurrent validation of a group-administered measure of field dependence for children based on scores of 34 girls and 39 boys in the fourth-grade, and 35 girls and 40 boys in the fifth-grade. (Author)

Peer reviewedCromack, Theodore R.; Stone, Meredith K. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Repeating validation procedures used for the Children's Group Embedded Figures Test Level II (ages 9-11), this Level I test of cognitive style was administered to a second grade sample. It proved reliable and significantly related to the individual Children's Embedded Figures Test and the Portable Rod-and-Frame Test. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedLusk, Edward J.; Wright, Haviland – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Results are presented which suggest that the learning occurring between two sections of the Group Embedded Fiqures Test is independent of the order in which the sections are worked. (Author/GK)

Keefe, James W.; Monk, John S. – 1986
This examiner's manual accompanies the Learning Style Profile (LSP), which measures cognitive skills as well as affective and environmental preferences. Charles Letteri's General Operations Model was accepted as the prototype for relating learning styles to cognitive information processing. The LSP was developed from 1983 to 1986; several versions…

Peer reviewedThompson, Bruce; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
The present study assessed the feasibility of using a widely recognized style measure, the Group Embedded Figures Test, with fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-graders. The results were generally favorable with respect ot the test's applicability to these age groups. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedAllen, 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)

Peer reviewedOwens, William; Limber, John – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
This study attempts to resolve the conflict within lateral eye movement research by investigating the validity of the measure across a variety of tests of cognitive ability and preference, utilizing several procedures for scoring and classifying subjects on the measure. (Author/PN)

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…

Rule, David L.; Grippin, Pauline C. – 1988
Theoretical framework, instrument development, and psychometric qualities are reviewed for some measures of learning style currently in use with adults. Instruments reviewed include: (1) Kolb's Learning Style Inventory I; (2) Kolb's Learning Style Inventory II; (3) the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator; (4) the Productivity Environmental Preferences…

Thompson, Patricia; And Others – 1979
Using college freshmen enrolled in a learning analysis course, the relationship between five tests of cognitive style was investigated: (1) Group Embedded Figures Test; (2) Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Questionnaire; (3) Adult Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale; (4) Mehrabian Stimulus Screening Test; and (5) Kolb Learning Style…
