Abstract
48 young males were divided into three groups based on rated intensity of pain experienced during immersion of the hand in cold water. The groups differed significantly in performance on an embedded figures task, a measure of field dependence. High pain reactivity corresponded to field independence; low pain reactivity corresponded to field dependence.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
