Subclaims¶

q2 i? Forward stepwise regression identified Hidden Patterns (field-dependence-independence) and Figural Creativity as significant predictors of map reconstruction accuracy in both samples, together accounting for 31% of variance in the high school sample and 24% in the college sample. → Shaha 1982

q2 · i1 · associational · r1

Forward stepwise multiple regression on the high school sample (n=64) entered Figural Creativity, Hidden Patterns Test, and Verbal Ability in that order; the article reports the variables "together accounted for 31%" of spatial recall accuracy variance. For the college sample the two significant factors accounted for 24%.

"The three variableS' together accounted for 31% of thetotal variatioG in spatial recall acCuracy."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Creativity — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Verbal ability predicts spatial recall only for the less verbal, more heterogeneous high school sample, not for college students — related
• Field-independent subjects more accurately reconstruct spatial arrays than field-dependent subjects — related
