Abstract

LINN, MARCIA C. Influence of Cognitive Style and Training on Tasks Requiring the Separation of Variables Schema. CmLD DEVELOPMENT, 1978, 49, 874-877. It has been suggested that cognitive style interacts with performance on tasks measuring formal thought. Conceivably cognitive style interacts with task context rather than with the underlying formal thought processes. Experiments are reported to clarify the type of task that elicits an interaction and to determine whether such interactions can be altered by instruction in formal thought processes.
