Estilo cognitivo, Dependência-independência de campo, Processos de atenção

Resumen

Este artigo relaciona o estilo cognitivo “dependência-independência de campo” com o desempenho em tarefas envolvendo vários processos e recursos de atenção. Com uma amostra de 98 crianças e 95 adolescentes portugueses, foram aplicadas quatro tarefas de atenção: capacidade de armazenamento (Dígitos em ordem direta); memória de trabalho verbal (Dígitos em ordem inversa); capacidade para dirigir, mudar e manter a atenção (Código); e capacidade de atenção sustentada (Teste de Atenção e Rastreio Visual, VSAT). Recorreu-se, ainda, à aplicação de uma prova de fator g, tendo em vista o controle da inteligência. Os resultados revelam diferenças entre dependentes e independentes de campo, especialmente relevantes no grupo de crianças na prova de VSAT. Esses resultados abrem novas linhas de investigação para explicar a pior execução acadêmica dos indivíduos dependentes de campo.
