Field Dependence-Independence and Hemisphericity as Variables in L2 Achievement.

Alptekin, Cem; Atakan, Semiha

Second Language Research, v6 n2 p135-49 Dec 1990

An examination of the relationship between second-language achievement and field dependence-independence and hemisphericity among 11- and 12-year-old Turkish students (n=69) in an intensive English-as-a-Second-Language program found that field independent learners performed better on discrete-point and cloze tests. Hemisphericity was not related to second-language achievement. (Author/CB)
