Field-dependent learners:
In the field-dependent/independent model of cognitive or learning style, a field-dependent learning style is defined by a relative inability to distinguish detail from other information around it. It can be compared to a field-independent learning style, which is defined by a tendency to separate details from the surrounding context.

In the classroom:
- Activities that connect different parts of a lesson are useful for field-dependent learners.
- For example, learners can discuss what they know about a topic, predict content, or look at and listen to related material.
There are two types of Cognitive Learners: Field Independent Learners and Field Dependent Learners. The characteristics of both are given below:
