据报道，一项研究评估了对欧几里德空间的理解的三个皮亚杰测试的触觉版本中的性别差异。凸起线绘图套件用于受试者反应和刺激的产生。为了测试对水平线的理解，受试者感觉到一个罐子的四个倾斜的图片，并被要求画出水线。使用两种方法来检查对垂直方向的理解。首先，受试者画了一根悬挂的电线和灯泡，将其固定在一辆停在四个不同角度的山上的公共汽车的天花板上。随后，受试者在四个不同角度的山上画出电线杆（用单线表示）。在罐子任务中，男性和女性的表现相当，两组都表现出较大的错误。在公交车任务中，男性和女性对垂直方向的判断非常相似，但当受试者在山上画电线杆时，男女的错误都大大减少。有人认为，在钢管任务中对垂直方向的更好判断可能源于使用以身体为中心的空间参考信息。
A study is reported of gender differences in a haptic version of three Piagetian tests that assess understanding of Euclidian space. A raised-line drawing kit was used both for subject responses and for production of stimuli. To test understanding of the horizontal, subjects felt pictures of a jar at four tilts and were asked to draw the water line. Two methods were used to examine understanding of the vertical. First, subjects drew a hanging electrical cord and light bulb, attached to the ceiling of a bus, parked on hills of four different angles. Subsequently, subjects drew telephone poles (represented by a single line) on hills of four different angles. In the jar task, males and females showed comparable performance, both groups showing large errors. Judgments of the vertical were very similar for males and females in the bus task, but errors diminished considerably for both genders when subjects drew telephone poles on hills. It is suggested that better judgments of the vertical in the pole task probably derive from the use of body-centered spatial reference information.
