The Relationship between Sex and Learning Style and Graphicacy in 14-year-old Children.
Riding, R. J.; Boardman, D. J.
Educational Review, v35 n1 p69-79 Feb 1983
Preference for field dependence independence and verbal imagery was assessed in 96 14-year-olds. Their map reading performance was measured in terms of map-aerial photograph correlation, symbol translation, and view identification. The results suggest that map reading performance depends on the learning style, sex of the pupil, and the type of task. (Author/SK)
