最近的心理测量结果[m]。Cogn. 29(2001)[745]支持了两种心理能力之间的区别，一种是需要对感知对象进行空间转换（例如，心理旋转），另一种是涉及从不同角度想象场景（例如，透视）。两个实验为这种分离提供了进一步的证据并加以推广。实验1表明，心理旋转和视角采取的可分离性不依赖于被测者的测试方法。实验2概括了这一区别，以解释在感知的小规模和想象的大规模环境中采取的视角。虽然是可分离的，但视角采取和心理旋转的测量是高度相关的。尽管在实验认知文献中发现了依赖于心理旋转和视角转换过程的任务之间存在强烈的分离，但心理测量学研究尚未发现空间可视化和空间定向因素可分离性的有力证据，这一研究提出了一些原因。(C) 2004爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Recent psychometric results [Mem. Cogn. 29 (2001) 745] have supported a distinction between mental abilities that require a spatial transformation of a perceived object (e.g., mental rotation) and those that involve imagining how a scene looks like from different viewpoints (e.g., perspective taking). Two experiments provide further evidence for and generalize this dissociation. Experiment 1 shows that the separability of mental rotation and perspective taking is not dependent on the method by which people are tested. Experiment 2 generalizes the distinction to account for perspective taking within perceived small-scale and imagined large-scale environments. Although dissociable, measures of perspective taking and mental rotation are quite highly correlated. The research suggests some reasons why psychometric studies have not found strong evidence for the separability of the spatial visualization and spatial orientation factors, although a strong dissociation between tasks that are dependent on mental rotation and perspective-taking processes has been found in the experimental cognitive literature.
