Roberge, James J.; Flexer, Barbara K.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v14 n5 p344-53 Nov 1983
This study examined the effects of field dependence/independence and the level of operational development on the mathematics achievement of 450 students in grades 6-8. Field-independent students scored significantly higher on total mathematics, concepts, and problem-solving tests. High-operational students scored significantly higher on all tests. (MNS)
