Developmental Relationships between Field Independence and Fixity-Mobility

Abstract

The level of field independence (measured by the Embedded-figures Test) was intercorrelated for 20 males with the level of fixity-mobility (measured by the Stroop Color-Word Test) at five different age levels. The Pearson correlations suggested that with an increase in the level of field independence there is a tendency to be mobile, and with a decrease in the level of field dependence there is a tendency to be fixed.
