Abstract

Various tools have been designed to classify the wholistic/analytic cognitive style, based mostly on behavioral data that reveals little about how these processes function. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to characterize patterns of eye movements (EM) that are typical of learners tending to a wholistic/analytic style. Seventy-seven students participated in this study, were administered the Extended Cognitive Styles Analysis - Wholistic-Analytic (E-CSA-WA) test, which contains two tasks: a wholistic task, consisting of 40 matching figures stimuli, and an analytic task, consisting of 40 embedded figures stimuli, while simultaneously their EM were monitored. The results revealed that the overall response time of the wholist group was lower on both tasks. The differences in response time between the wholist and the analytic groups might be interpreted as being influenced by the impulsive-reflective style differences, respectively. Beyond the quantitative differences between th...
