Chmielewski, Todd L.; Dansereau, Donald F.; Moreland, Jeremy L.
Journal of Experimental Education, v66 n3 p197-207 Spr 1998
The role common region (CR) plays in acquiring scientific information from node-link displays was studied by testing 88 subjects under conditions of knowledge maps demonstrating or not demonstrating CR. Field-dependent subjects scored better than the field-independent subjects for maps demonstrating CR, whereas the opposite was true for maps not demonstrating CR. (MAK)
