A matter of perspective : the cognitive style Field Independence - dependence, and why it matters
2016
Psykologi Herman Witkin aloitti vuonna 1948 kognitiivista ajattelutapaa tutkivan suuntauksen, jossa ihmiset jaettiin kahteen ryhmään: kenttäriippuvaisiin ja kenttäriippumattomiin. Kenttäriippumattomuutta ja -riippuvaisuutta on tutkittu aina 2010 luvulle saakka. Kansainvälisiä tutkimustuloksia löytyy aiheeseen liittyen runsaastikin, mutta Suomessa aihetta ei ole juurikaan tutkittu soveltavan kielitieteen näkökulmasta. Tutkimukset kenttäriippuvaisuudesta ja -riippumattomuudesta antavat viitteitä siihen, että tällä kognitiivisen ajattelun mallilla saattaa olla suurikin vaikutus oppilaiden oppimismenestykseen. Kenttäriippumattomat oppilaat ovat aiempien tutkimusten mukaan itsenäisempiä, havaits…
Pedagogical and Psychological Background of Pronunciation Learning and Language Learning Strategies
2016
The aim of this chapter is to provide the theoretical background for the concept of pronunciation, its pedagogical aspects, and selected factors affecting its acquisition. In the following section an array of definitions of pronunciation will be presented in order to provide a broad perspective. This will be followed by a diachronic overview of approaches to pronunciation teaching and learning, in order to present the pedagogical background. Subsequently, the chapter will address current issues linked to aspects of pronunciation and factors affecting pronunciation acquisition.
Do absolute pitch possessors have a field independent cognitive style?
2009
The factors contributing to the development of absolute pitch (AP) are still not fully understood. It seems to be neither completely inherited nor completely teachable. This study tested the hypothesis, that individual differences in cognitive style influence AP development. Specifically, it investigated whether adult AP possessors can be characterized by a field independent cognitive style while handling visual and musical tasks. Thirty professional musicians performed tests of absolute and relative pitch abilities, a visual and a musical task measuring field independence, and visual tasks measuring intellectual functioning. The absolute pitch test resulted in a continuous distribution of …
Effect of Different Display Types on Vection and Its Interaction With Motion Direction and Field Dependence
2017
Illusory self-motion (vection) can be generated by visual stimulation. The purpose of the present study was to compare behavioral vection measures including intensity ratings, duration, and onset time across different visual display types. Participants were exposed to a pattern of alternating black-and-white horizontal or vertical bars that moved either in vertical or horizontal direction, respectively. Stimuli were presented on four types of displays in randomized order: (a) large field of view dome projection, (b) combination of three computer screens, (c) single computer screen, (d) large field of view flat projection screen. A Computer Rod and Frame Test was used to measure field depen…
