Cognitive Development and Cognitive Style as Factors in Mathematics Achievement.
Chansky, Norman; Vaidya, Sheila
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n3 p326-30 Jun 1980
The relationship between operativity on Piagetian tasks of number, classification, field dependence-independence, and mathematics achievement was investigated. In grades 2-4, field independence was related to high mathematics achievement. High operativity was related to high achievement in mathematics concepts only in the second grade. (Author/GDC)
