  • Abstract
    This study tested the hypothesis that field independence was significantly correlated with proficiency in fault diagnosis for a national sample of Irish apprentice electricians. This hypothesis was corroborated (with r values ranging between 0.33 and 0.69). Results suggest that embedded figures and troubleshooting tasks share a common demand for cognitive restructuring.
