- Abstract
The article investigates the relationship between nonverbal analytical perception and performance on science achievement among premedical and predental college students. The nonverbal analytical perception was conducted through the Embedded Figures test while the performance of the students was upon the initiation of standardized test. It was noted that students who acquired an above-average performance on the Embedded Figures Test would likely achieve higher-than-average achievement scores than those who belong to below-average scores in restructuring ability. Moreover, people who are proficient in perceptual problem-solving task can comprehend effectively the meaning of a science reading selection and can apply what has been learned in unfamiliar context.
