- 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.
