Abstract

This research examines the relation between the cognitive style construct of field dependence-independence (FDI) and 2 processing components. These components, control of linguistic processing and analysis of knowledge, have been identified in previous research as part of metalinguistic ability. Children between the ages of 7 and 9 years were given a number of metalinguistic tasks and 2 measures of FDI. The results showed a common basis for FDI and metalinguistic problems requiring high levels of control but not for FDI and metalinguistic problems requiring high levels of analysis
