Summary

Contrasts analytic and relational cognitive styles, but focuses particularly on the context of formal schooling. Describes ways formal schooling favors the analytic style, leaving relational students at great disadvantage. Discusses the influence socialization (group process) and income (lower or middle class) has on cognitive style. Examines nonverbal tests of intelligence and the way these also favor the analytic thinker. Bases conclusions on a series of studies started in 1963.
