摘要:This study examined how cognitive style in young children affects mathematical problem-solving performance. Findings showed that the types of patterms presented were linked to the degree of dificulty of the tasks and that disparity between field-independent and field-dependent in cognitive style was broader when subjects worked with more complicated patterm problems. Subjects' marks varied by cognitive style when dynamic assment was conducted,but cognitive style made no diference in their mathematical leaming capability. Cognitive style had an impact not only on the task performance of the leamers but on the extent to which they were in need of help during the problem-solving process. Yet,it exercised no influence on how much progress the subjects made when fully assisted.
