Relationships between Reading Proficiency and Field Dependence/Field Independence and Sex.
Drane, Mary Jane; And Others
Educational Research Quarterly, v13 n2 p2-10 1989
The relationships between reading proficiency and field independence/field dependence and sex were studied in 84 male and 79 female second graders. There were no significant gender differences in achievement or with the reading measures. Field-independent subjects were more proficient readers in the separate skill areas of reading than were field-dependent subjects. (SLD)
