  • Title: Field independence and laterality in the perception of faces.
    Author: Oltman PK, Ehrlichman H, Cox PW.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1977 Aug; 45(1):255-60. PubMed ID: 333374.
    Abstract:
    For a sample of 28 college males the degree of left visual-field bias in the perception of faces correlated .45 (p less than .01) with extent of field-independent performance, as assessed by a composite score based on the Embedded-Figures Test, the Rod-and-Frame Test, and ratings on the Articulation-of-Body-Concept Scale. In a second study with 16 female and 10 male college subjects using the Group Embedded-Figures Test, field-independent subjects again showed greater left visual-field lateralization of face perception (r = .43, p less than .05). Based on Witkin's view of field independence as a manifestation of psychological differentiation, possible links between extent of differentiation at the psychological and neurophysiological levels are suggested.
