q2 i? Field-independent subjects remembered spatial information and accurately placed recalled map features better than field-dependent students in the map reconstruction task. → Shaha 1982

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Regression results from both samples (high school n=64, college n=68) showed the Hidden Patterns Test, measuring field-dependence-independence, was a significant predictor of map reconstruction accuracy; the discussion interprets that "subjects recall maPfeatures as discrete entities" within the map field.

"subjects recall maPfeatures as discrete entities or small .groups from within the tOtal map Ontext or field."
