Hemispheric Correlates of the Rod-And-Frame Test.

Berlin, Donna F.; Languis, Marlin L.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v52 n1 p35-41 Feb 1981

Right-handed sixth graders were administered the WISC Block Design and verbal and nonverbal versions of the Rod-and-Frame Test (RFT), measuring field dependence/independence. Results seemed to reflect a right hemisphere processing for the nonverbal RFT and a possible sex bias against girls in its traditional verbal administration. (Author/SJL)
