A dissociation between object manipulation spatial ability and spatial orientation ability.
We developed psychometric tests of spatial orientation ability, in which people are shown a two-dimensional array of objects, imagine taking a perspective within the array, and indicate the direction to a target object from this perspective. Patterns of errors on these tests were consistent with experimental studies of perspective taking. Characteristic errors and verbal protocols supported the...
متن کاملSpatial ability, handedness, and human sexual orientation.
We investigated the relations among mental rotations and spatial perception abilities, handedness, and sexual orientation in both men and women. The present study included a relatively large sample and attempted to control statistically for important covariates such as general intelligence. Significant sex differences were obtained for mental rotations and spatial perception, but not for handed...
متن کاملSpatial Ability and G
Spatial abilities have long been relegated to a secondary status in accounts of human intelligence. Tests of spatial abilities are viewed as measures of practical and mechanical abilities that are useful in predicting success in technical occupations, but not as measures of abstract reasoning abilities (Smith, 1964). This conflicts with the important role afforded to spatial imagery in accounts...
متن کاملMemory and age differences in spatial manipulation ability.
Young and old adults were asked, in 3 experiments, to make decisions about the identity of line segment patterns after either adding or subtracting line segments from the original pattern. On some of the trials, the line segments from the initial display were presented again in the second display to minimize the necessity of remembering early information during the processing of later informati...
متن کاملSpatial ability and throwing accuracy.
In an attempt to explain the superior spatial skill of males, several studies have investigated the hypothesis that spatial ability is enhanced by an Xlinked recessive gene. Some of the evidence based on intrafamilial correlations supports the X-linkage hypothesis of superior male spatial ability (Stafford, 1961 ; Hartlage, 1970; Bock and Kolakowski, 1973; Yen, 1975) while more recent work, inc...
