Experimental But Not Sex Differences of a Mental Rotation Training Program on Adolescents
Given the importance of visuospatial processing in areas related to the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines, where there is still a considerable gap in the area of sex differences, the interest in the effects of visuospatial skills training continues to grow. Therefore, we have evaluated the visuospatial improvement of adolescents after performing a computerized...
متن کاملI Sex Differences in Mental Rotation
SztnZJ1ZaJ}'.-\'V'hen humans decide whether two visual stimuli are identical or mirror images of each other and one of the stimuli is rotated with respect to the other, the time discrimination takes usually increases as a rectilinear function of the orientation disparity. On the average, males perform this mental rotation at a faster angular speed than females. This experiment required the rota...
متن کاملAge-related differences of neural connectivity during mental rotation.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate age-related effects on functional brain networks during a mental rotation task. At behavioral level age-related cognitive deficits have been shown. Cognitive deficits in older adults are associated with structural decline, especially in frontal and parietal areas and in the corpus callosum. In consequence, functional networks are affected by o...
متن کاملThe Sex Difference on Mental Rotation Tests Is Not Necessarily a Difference in Mental Rotation Ability
The largest consistent sex difference in human cognition is found on mental rotation tests, which require participants to compare pictures of three-dimensional objects and decide whether they depict the same object or different objects. Across cultures, males score up to one standard deviation higher than females. We administered two standard rotation tests to 123 participants and found that th...
متن کاملAge-related differences in viewer-rotation tasks: is mental manipulation the key factor?
Using a viewer-centered frame of reference (VCFR) paradigm, we examined whether the necessity to mentally manipulate the frame of reference can explain why older adults were found to be impaired on a variety of spatial memory tasks. Twenty-four younger participants (18-35 years of age) and 24 older participants (65-78 years of age) performed a pointing task under four conditions in which a phys...
