29 male and 28 female undergraduates were administered two measures of Witkin's field-dependence dimension--the Portable Rod-and-frame Test and the Group Embedded-figures Test--and a test of facial recognition. Field-independent males were significantly more accurate in the recognition of photographed human faces than field-dependent males. Field-independent females were also more accurate than field-dependent females, although the relation was nonsignificant. While it has often been claimed that field-dependent individuals remember faces better, the results of the present study, as well as others which have examined this relationship, support the opposite conclusion.
对29名男性和28名女性大学生进行了两项威特金场依存维度测量——便携式杆框测验和团体镶嵌图形测验——以及一项面部识别测试。场独立型男性在识别照片中的人脸方面明显比场依存型男性更准确。场独立型女性也比场依存型女性更准确，尽管这种关系不显著。虽然人们经常声称场依存型个体对面孔的记忆更好，但本研究以及其他考察这种关系的研究结果却支持相反的结论。
