The Correlation between Lowenfeld's Visual-Haptic Continuum and Piaget's Concrete-Formal Continuum in Students Enrolled in a Business College.
Schlenker, Richard M.
A sample of college students was used to determine whether there was a correlation between Lowenfeld's visual-haptic continuum and Piaget's concrete-formal continuum. Three instruments were administered--a questionnaire, the Successive Perception Test I (Gibson) which identified an individual's location on the visual-haptic continuum, and the paper and pencil test of Longeot which ascertained the subjects' concrete-formal orientations. A Pearson product moment correlation between the continua was .32 based on 88 observations. The relationship was significant at the .05 level. A lack of relationship was found between age and either the perceptual aptitude or the intellectual level continuum. There was a relationship between a person's location on Lowenfeld's visual-haptic continuum and Piaget's concrete-formal continuum. The correlation found attributed 10.24 percent of the variance to some common factor. (RC)
