Hemispheric Correlates of the Rod-and-Frame Test

38 right-handed children in sixth grade (17 boys and 21 girls) were administered the WISC Block Design to reflect activity of the right hemisphere of the brain and two versions (verbal and nonverbal) of the Rod-and-frame Test, a measure of field dependence/independence. The Pearson product-moment correlations showed a significant negative correlation between the traditional verbal administration of the Rod-and-frame Test and the WISC Block Design only for the 17 boys. The nonverbal procedure used to administer the Rod-and-frame Test showed a significant negative correlation with the WISC Block Design for both boys and girls. These results were interpreted to reflect a right hemisphere processing for the nonverbal Rod-and-frame Test and a possible sex bias in the traditional verbal administration of the Rod-and-frame Test which might inhibit girls' performance.
