Association of scores on McCarthy Scales with field dependence/independence for seven-year-old Spanish children.
The McCarthy Scales and the Children's Embedded Figures Test, as a measure of field dependence-independence, were administered to 32 girls and 18 boys, aged 7 yr. and in their second year of primary education. No significant correlations between the number of correct embedded figures and the total raw scores on the McCarthy Scales were observed, but the embedded figures scores were significantly related to scores on the Perceptual-Performance and Quantitative subscales. Boys and girls show different score patterns. The Verbal, Memory and Motor scales were independent of scores on field dependence-independence for these 7-yr.-olds.
