Relationships between Cognitive Styles and Creativity: The Role of Field Dependence-Independence on Visual Creative Productionby Marco Giancola, Massimiliano Palmiero, Laura Piccardi and  Simonetta D’Amico, published in Behavioral Sciences.

Results were discussed in light of the better predisposition of field independent individuals in mental imagery, mental manipulation of abstract objects, as well as in using their knowledge during complex tasks that require creativity.
