本研究以166名6 ~ 12个月大的婴儿为被试，采用变化检测任务，对心理旋转进行了两个实验研究。这些实验重复了劳尔和洛伦科（劳尔等人，二〇一五年;劳尔和Lourenco，2016年），使用相同的刺激和他们的程序的变化，包括在实验室环境中进行的精确复制（实验1），和使用Lookit的在线评估（斯科特等人，2017; Scott & Schulz，2017）（实验2）。两项实验都未能复制原始研究的结果;在两项实验中，婴儿的行为都没有提供证据表明他们在心理上旋转了物体。结果进行了讨论的鲁棒性的心理旋转在婴儿期和我们的实验过程中发现的感知和认知能力的婴儿的限制。
Two experiments were conducted to examine mental rotation in 6-to 12-month-old infants (N = 166) using a change detection task. These experiments were replications of Lauer and Lourenco (Lauer et al., 2015; Lauer & Lourenco, 2016), using identical stimuli and variations of their procedure, including an exact replication conducted in a laboratory setting (Experiment 1), and an online assessment using Lookit (Scott et al.,2017; Scott & Schulz, 2017) (Experiment 2). Both experiments failed to replicate the results of the original study; in neither experiment did infants' behavior provide evidence that they mentally rotated the object. Results are discussed in terms of the robustness of mental rotation in infancy and about limits in our experimental procedures for uncovering perceptual and cognitive abilities in infants.
