Riding has proposed two families of cognitive styles: Wholist-Analytic and Verbaliser-Imager. Although the supporting empirical evidence has been demonstrated, the issue not fully addressed is whether the families are also theoretical valid. The task here is to evaluate the W-A family against cognitive style theory, as proposed by Witkin and other style theorists. Several ideas are discussed: (1) Overall, the W-A family provides a useful catalyst to styles research; (2) Despite the envisioned success of the W-A family, reflection-impulsivity may be a much less supportive member, having several differences with W-A theory; (3) These have important implications for the continuing strength of styles theory and research. It also has strong implications for the application of cognitive styles in educational settings. |
