Field, T. W.
Australian Science Teachers Journal, 18, 1, 27-35, Mar 72
At grades 10 and 12 in high school, and in the universities, a science cognitive style was identified. Students with a high science orientation are characterized by high conceptual differentiation; high categorizing flexibility with objects; high preference for analytic-descriptive concepts; high originality; low preference for categorical-influential concepts; low ideational fluency; low flexibility; and low preference for psychological concepts in grouping people."
