Abstract
Summary : Field dependence-independence, cognitive operations and senescence. In order to study the inter-individual and intra-individual variability of operatory activities in elderly subjects in relation to cognitive style, 120 intellectual men : 40 active young men and 80 retired, were tested with four Piagetian tasks and the Rod-and-Frame test. The experiment shows : 1) A wide intra-individual dispersion of operatory level especially because of certain cognitive attitudes proper to old age ; 2) Field dependence vs independence associated : a) to the inter-individual variability of senescents1 operatory level : field independency limits the lowering of efficiency in infralogical tasks; b) to the inter-tasks intra-individual variability : the dependent senescents are more dispersed than the independent ones and for certain pairs of tests show different patterns of variability. Key-words : senescence, cognitive operations, field dependence-independence.
