“…The results from early studies of the relation between field dependence–independence and cerebral functions suggest that differences between FD and FI individuals are more than just general preferences, or deficiencies, based in one or the other hemisphere (e.g., Garrick, 1978; Falcone, 1985; Pizzamiglio & Carli, 1974; see also Tinajero, Paramo, Cadaveira, & Rodriguez-Holguin, 1993, for a review). Researchers generally agree that FD subjects display greater between-hemisphere coherence, suggesting less hemispheric differentiation or specialization (e.g., O'Connor & Shaw, 1977; Oltman, Semple, & Goldstein, 1979).…”
