Abstract
Early research in cognition, perception and graphic expression
attributes differences in the cognitive and graphic products of children
of the same age to differences in the amount of knowledge, facility in
reasoning, skills or biogenic determined developmental levels.
More recent studies in cognition and perception seem to indicate
stable intraindividual consistencies of patterning in coping with and
relating verbal and visual information (26) (49). The possibility of
an individual performing in a self-consistent manner when processing
visual and/or cognitive information into graphic expression has not
been studied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship
of the findings of Witkin (49) on consistencies in mode of perceiving,
and the findings of Kagan (22) on consistencies in mode of
2
cognition to the possible consistencies in the mode of graphic expression
of boys at five grade levels.
This study attempts to determine whether ( 1) an individual's
preference for an analytical mode of perceiving and conceptualizing
wiH also be demonstrated in his graphic expression, and whether (2)
an individual's preference for a global mode of perceiving and conceptualizing
will also be demonstrated in his graphic expression. The
general assumptions to be tested in this study are that ( 1) individuals
perform in a self-consistent manner when processing visual and
cognitive information, and that (2) this consistency is also evident in
their graphic expressions.
