Abstract

A major aim of the present study was to investigate effects of cognitive style (Witkin’s EFT test) on analytical and intuitive decision processes. A booklet of relevant tests was distributed to university students who served as participants. It was found that field independent participants scored higher on analytical decision making tasks than field-dependent participants did. Field dependence-independence was also found to be a better predictor of reasoning performance than was analytical intelligence. The results are discussed and related to the more general issue how cognitive style may impact upon analytical and intuitive reasoning.
