Cognitive styles are classified into two based on psychological differences: Field-independent (FI) and Field-dependent (FD). The aim of this research is to find out how cognitive style on student’s academic performance in mathematics.The approach employed in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach which emphasizes explicit literature review. Based on the studies conducted, this research shows that bothcognitive styles, whether field-independent and field-dependent have a significant influence on the learning process and student academic performance in mathematics subjects. Therefore, the use of appropriate cognitive styles in the learning process can enhance students' mathematics learning outcomes
