1. legislative, judicial, hierarchical, global, and liberal styles) and Type II styles that suggest a norm-favouring tendency and denote lower levels of cognitive complexity (e.g., executive, local, monarchic, and conservative), with the remaining styles including characteristics from both groups, depending on the demands of the specific task. However, even this innovative approach did not solve the problem of integrating the cognitive style construct into contemporary theories of cognitive psychology and Competence science nor;Sternberg;) revealed that most of these styles can be classified into two main groups: Type I styles that are more creativitygenerating and denote higher levels of cognitive complexity,2000
2. Similar to Miller's model, Nosal suggested that different cognitive styles might be identified at each stage of information processing, for instance: fielddependence/independence represents a style operating at the perceptual level, whereas mobility/fixity is a style operating at the program (metacognitive) level. A significant innovation of Nosal's approach is that he presented styles in a matrix form (see Figure 2), expanding the analytical-holistic continuum proposed by Miller to accommodate other cognitive style continua (families) such as 1) field structuring (context dependent vs. context independent), which describes a tendency to perceive events as separate versus inseparable from their context; 2) field scanning (rule-driven vs. intuitive), which describes a tendency for directed, driven by rules vs. intuitive information scanning; 3) equivalence range (compartmentalization vs. integration), which represents a tendency to References ?
