Individual differences in brain structure and resting brain function underlie cognitive styles: evidence from the Embedded Figures Test.

Cognitive styles can be characterized as individual differences in the way people perceive, think, solve problems, learn, and relate to others. Field dependence/independence (FDI) is an important and widely studied dimension of cognitive styles. Although functional imaging studies have investigated...
