Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Study Habits.

Use of the Cognitive Skills Inventory (CSI) in a cross-cultural study is described. It was assumed that the factorial structure of study skills parallel control processes of the information-processing system. Difficulties in using 2nd-order factors in previous studies and avoiding confounding due to language differences were addressed. Responses on the CSI of monolingual English-speaking American students, bilingual Puerto Rican students and monolingual Spanish students were compared
