据推测，在需要积极阐述材料的任务中，视觉空间工作记忆（VSWM）的性别差异更大。在本研究中，我们通过使用对象重新定位任务以及言语和视觉刺激来探索这个问题。主动过程的参与是通过刺激所需的转换类型和引入不同类型的干扰来操纵的。在报告的三个实验中，参与者在不同的位置看到了单词或卡通对象图标，并且必须以相同的格式或相反的格式重新定位它们（对象图标可以转换为单词，反之亦然）。在最苛刻的条件下，男性的表现优于女性，其中对象图标和文字在编码阶段一起呈现，并且两者都必须在回忆阶段进行转换；或者当使用更苛刻的干扰时。我们的数据表明，两组的保留策略相似，并且性别效应与选择性女性困难有关，而选择性女性困难与主动 VSWM 处理的增加相关。这些发现进一步支持了 VSWM 的被动和主动成分之间的假设区别，并说明了这种区别在解释个体差异方面可能发挥的作用。
It has been hypothesized that gender differences in visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM) are larger in tasks requiring active elaboration of the material. In the present study we explored this issue by using an object relocation task, with both verbal and visual stimuli. The involvement of active processes was manipulated through the type of transformation required on the stimulus and through the introduction of different kinds of interference. In the three experiments reported, participants were shown either words or cartoon object icons in different locations and had to relocate them in either the same format or in the opposite one (object icons could be transformed into words and vice versa). Males outperformed females in the most demanding conditions, in which object icons and words were presented together in the encoding phase, and both had to be transformed in the recall phase; or when more demanding interferences were used. Our data suggest that the retention strategy was similar for the two groups and that the gender effect is related to a selective female difficulty associated with the increase in active VSWM processing. These findings further support the hypothesized distinction between the passive and active components of VSWM and illustrate the role that this distinction might play in accounting for individual differences.
