Does Cognitive Style Account for Cultural Differences in Scholastic Achivement?

Clark, Lesley A.; Halford, Graeme S.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v14 n3 p279-96 Sep 1983

Urban and rural Aboriginal- and Anglo-Australian children were tested for reading and math achievement, for nonverbal psychometric test intelligence, and for three cognitive styles. Psychometric intelligence was clearly a more powerful predictor of the effects of culture and location on school achievement than was cognitive style. (Author/CMG)
