Abstract
Rod-and-Frame Test scores were correlated with performance in a tactile form discrimination task. It was found that the more field-independent the S, the higher the accuracy in the discrimination task. Of additional interest was the finding that the strongest correlation emerged between female RFT scores and the active touch condition.
