Field Dependence as a Factor in Second Language Communicative Production.
Johnson, Janice; Prior, Suzanne; Artuso, Mariangela
Language Learning, v50 n3 p529-67 Sep 2000
Investigates the hypothesis that a more field-dependent cognitive style may be adaptive for certain components of second language proficiency. Native English speakers or students of English as a Second Language (ESL) completed measures of language proficiency and field dependence-independence (FDI). Native English speakers performed better than ESL students on language measures but not FDI measures. (Author/VWL)
