| Abstract: | This study investigated the relation between field dependence-independence and performance on word and nonsense anagrams with 66 college students. Field independence as measured by the Group Embedded-figures Test was significantly associated with correct solution of word anagrams but not with correct solution of nonsense anagrams, the difference between the correlateons being significant even when verbal and spatial-perceptual ability were partialled out. Overall nonsense anagrams were easier to solve than word anagrams. Results were consistent with the idea that field-dependent individuals have greater difficulty breaking up and rearranging an organized stimulus complex than field-independent individuals. |
