Abstract
To study the relationship between cognitive style and psychophysiological variables, the Embedded Figures Test of Witkin was given to an experimental group of 25 students and to a matched control group. The experimental group was then submitted for 3 mo. to the exercises of Schultz's autogenic training. The control group had no treatment on the embedded figures. Retest showed for both groups an improvement toward greater field-independence. However, improvement was significantly greater for the trained group than for the control group. These results support the view that the cognitive style is partially dependent on the psychophysiological information in the body, in such way that changes in body-experience may modify some aspects of cognitive style.
