以337名中国资优学生为研究对象，对基于心理旋转测量的空间能力和基于自我报告的视觉艺术参与以及空间定向活动的空间体验进行了评估。与过去对一般人群的研究结果一致，空间能力存在性别差异，有利于男孩。然而，其他结果几乎没有支持空间体验的性别差异可能会促进空间能力的性别差异的观点;具体来说，结果显示，视觉艺术体验的性别差异有利于女孩，视觉定向体验的差异有利于中学男孩。然而，空间经验的作用对女孩的影响更明显，这表明鼓励女学生获得空间经验可能有助于弥合性别之间的空间能力差距。
Spatial ability based on measures of mental rotation, and spatial experience based on self‐reported participation in visual‐arts as well as spatial‐orientation activities were assessed in a sample of 337 Chinese, gifted students. Consistent with past findings for the general population, there were gender differences in spatial ability favoring boys. However, other results provided little support for the idea that gender differences in spatial experience might foster gender differences in spatial ability; specifically, results showed modest gender differences in visual‐arts experience favoring girls, and variation in visual orientation experience favoring secondary‐school boys. Nonetheless, the role of spatial experience had a more marked effect on girls, suggesting that encouraging female students to gain spatial experience might help bridge the gap in spatial ability between the genders.
