模式复制任务，提出了四种不同的媒体样本的城市赞比亚和城市英国的学童。当这些图案被复制成金属丝模型时，赞比亚的孩子们胜过了英国的孩子。当这些图案通过绘画再现时，英国儿童胜过赞比亚儿童。没有可靠的跨文化差异被发现时的模式被复制为橡皮泥模型或配置的手的位置。两个文化组同样受到不利影响时，要求执行建模任务或手的位置任务蒙上眼睛。结果被解释为表明，跨文化的差异表现的模式再现任务反映了不同的高度具体的知觉技能，而不是更广泛的认知变量，如实用智力，场依存或感觉型的差异。
Pattern reproduction tasks were presented in four different media to samples of urban Zambian and urban British schoolchildren. When the patterns were reproduced as wire models, the Zambian children excelled the British. When the patterns were reproduced by drawing, the British children excelled the Zambian. No reliable cross-cultural differences were found when the patterns were reproduced as plasticine models or as configurations of hand positions. Both cultural groups were equally adversely affected when required to perform the modelling tasks or the hand positions task blind-folded. The results are interpreted as suggesting that cross-cultural differences in performance of pattern reproduction tasks reflect different sets of highly specific perceptual skills rather than differences on broader cognitive variables such as practical intelligence, field-dependency or sensotypes.
