In a sample of 28 college males, it was found that the degree of lateral specialization of a right-hemispere function, the perception of faces, showed a correlation of .45 (p < .01) with extent of field independent performance, as assessed by a composite score based on the Embedded-Figures Test, the Rod-and-Frame Test, and ratings on the Articulation-of-BodyCon Scale. In a second study with 16 female and 10 male college subjects using the Group Embedded-Figures Test, field independent subjects again showed greater lateralization of face perception (r = .43, p < .05). Based on Witkin's view of field independence as a manifestation of psychological differentiation, possible links between extent of differentiation at the psychological and neurophysiological levels are suggested.
