Thirty-four nonretarded and 34 EMR children, matched on mental age, were given three tasks relating to Witkin's cognitive style construct. The sample scores of the retarded subjects were consistently lower than the nonretarded subjects' sample scores on each test. The nonretarded children's performance aligned with Witkin's analytical, field-independent cognitive style in contrast to the retarded children's performance which was characterized by a more global, field-dependent style. The results were interpreted in terms of possible cognitive style differences.
选取了34名发育正常儿童和34名边缘智力障碍（EMR）儿童，他们的心理年龄相匹配，让他们完成三项与威特金认知风格结构相关的任务。在每项测试中，智力障碍受试者的样本分数始终低于发育正常受试者的样本分数。发育正常儿童的表现符合威特金的分析型、场独立认知风格，而智力障碍儿童的表现则以更整体、场依赖风格为特征。研究结果从可能存在的认知风格差异角度进行了解释。
