Vendenberg 和 Kuse (1978) 心理旋转测试 (MRT) 的可用版本在物理上已经恶化，因为只有副本的副本可用。我们报告重新绘制的 MRT 版本和替代版本的测试结果。男性的表现优于女性，物理科学的学生表现优于社会科学和人文学科的学生，这证实了 MRT 原始版本的其他报告。当刺激需要沿上/下轴和左/右轴旋转时，受试者发现很难执行 MRT。性别的影响大小（平均约占方差的 20%）不会随着任务难度的增加而增加。观察到的策略效果最小，并且女性在月经期间的表现与月经期间之间的天数没有差异。实践效果非常显着，证实了原始 MRT 的其他报告，并且在实践范例转移中也显示出强大的功能，其中测试和重新测试涉及不同版本的 MRT。尚未发现惯用手对 MRT 性能的主要影响。 (C) 1995 学术出版社
The available versions of the Vendenberg and Kuse (1978) Mental Rotations Test (MRT) have physically deteriorated because only copies of copies are available. We report results from a redrawn version of the MRT and for alternate versions of the test. Males perform better than females, and students drawn from the physical sciences perform better than students drawn from the social sciences and humanities, confirming other reports with the original version of the MRT. Subjects find it very hard to perform the MRT when stimuli require rotation along both the top/bottom axis and the left/right axis. The magnitude of effect sizes for sex (which account, on average, for some 20% of the variance) does not increase with increasing difficulty of the task. Minimal strategy effects were observed and females did not perform differently during the menstrual period as opposed to the days between the menstrual periods. Practice effects are dramatic, confirming other reports with the original MRT, and can also be shown to be powerful in a transfer for practice paradigm, where test and retest involve different versions of the MRT. Main effects of handedness on MRT performance were not found. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
