- Abstract:
- Cognitive style refers to the individual preferences in the way of processing information and theindividual differences in the neurological structure and mechanism of information processing. On the basisof a lexicological model of cognitive style, this study is intended for a categorization of 240 undergraduates(mean=19.6) according to their cognitive style by using the SOM Neural Network. The result shows that thecollege students fall into the following four groups in terms of cognitive style: precise and flexible; imprecisebut flexible; dialogical; and normative. The students under investigation show great similarity within the samegroup but significant differences between different groups. This study has also identified 9 specific types ofcognitive style.
