Maternal Teaching Strategies and Cognitive Styles in Chicano Families.
Laosa, Luis M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n1 p45-54 Feb 1980
Chicano mothers were observed teaching their own five-year-old children. Field-independent mothers used inquiry and praise; field-dependent mothers used modeling. Trends suggest that the teaching strategies to which the child is exposed may influence which cognitive style the child develops. (Author/CP)
