TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Field dependence in relation to alcohol consumption: a co-twin control study JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Bergman, Hans A1 - NorliN, Berit A1 - Borg, Stefan A1 - Fyrö, Bengt SP - 855 EP - 859 VL - 41 IS - 3 N2 - 20 male, alcohol-discordant twin pairs, aged 45 to 65 yr. were compared for field-dependent cognitive style and general intelligence by means of one-sample t and multivariate Td2-tests. The high alcohol group was more field-dependent (p <.01) than the low alcohol group, mainly because of poorer scores on the Embedded-figures Test. When general intelligence was controlled for, the amount of embedded-figures variance accounted for by consumption of alcohol dropped considerably.
