During the former researches, higher tendency to the field-independence in youth non-adult bilinguals was proved. The purpose of the empirical part of this thesis aims to find, using the Online Group Embedded Figures Test, if the bilinguals still differ in this higher tendency from monolinguals in the adulthood. Based on the sample of 30 adult individual natural bilinguals, whose results in the Online GEFT test were compared to the results of 30 adult monolinguals in the same test, a statistically significant difference was not proved.
