某些商业视频游戏，如门户2和俄罗斯方块，已经被经验证明可以训练空间推理技能，这是在STEM学科中取得成功所必需的认知技能的子集。然而，到目前为止，还没有研究试图了解这些游戏中的哪些特定功能利用了玩家的空间能力，或者个体玩家的差异如何与这些游戏功能相互作用。这些知识对于理解这些游戏的有效性和原因至关重要，尤其是对于空间能力较低的人群，如妇女和女孩。我们提出了第一项实证研究，分析了空间能力、特定游戏特征和个人玩家差异之间的关系，使用了一个定制的电脑游戏。20个孩子参加了空间技能的预试，然后玩了两个小时的游戏。我们发现，空间能力预测分数预测了几个与游戏内任务相关的行为，包括3D物体构建和第一人称导航。然而，当按性别分析时，女孩的预试分数对球员行为的预测力要小得多。
Certain commercial video games, such as Portal 2 and Tetris, have been empirically shown to train spatial reasoning skills, a subset of cognitive skills essential for success in STEM disciplines. However, no research to date has attempted to understand which specific features in these games tap into players' spatial ability or how individual player differences interact with these game features. This knowledge is crucially important as a first step towards understanding what makes these games effective and why, especially for subpopulations with lower spatial ability such as women and girls. We present the first empirical study analyzing the relationship between spatial ability, specific game features, and individual player differences using a custom-built computer game. Twenty children took a pretest of spatial skills and then played our game for 2 hours. We found that spatial ability pretest scores predicted several player behaviors related to in-game tasks involving 3D object construction and first person navigation. However, when analyzed by gender, girls' pretest scores were much less predictive of player behavior.
