本研究采用一种新的智力测验范式对3 ~ 5岁儿童的心理旋转能力进行了测试。它允许使用与年龄较大的儿童和成年人类似的任务来评估5岁以下儿童的心理旋转能力。孩子们在七个方向上看到成对的不对称的鬼魂形象，无论是三维的剪纸还是二维的纸上版本。其中一个幽灵适合一个洞，如果旋转右侧向上-另一个幽灵是它的镜像，不会适合。孩子们被要求把鬼魂在他们的头上，并选择一个将适合进入洞。在三维版本的任务中，选择正确鬼魂的儿童数量从3岁的10%急剧增加到5岁的95%;平均准确率也从54%显著增加到83%。二维的纸质版本也得到了类似的结果。这些结果表明，相当大的发展，心理旋转之间的3和5岁。(C)2013 Elsevier Inc.

We assessed 3-to 5-year-olds' mental rotation abilities using a new puzzle paradigm. It allows for assessment of mental rotation abilities in children younger than 5 years, using a task comparable to ones used with older children and adults. Children saw pairs of asymmetrical ghost figures, either as three-dimensional cut-outs or two-dimensional paper versions, in seven orientations. One of the ghosts fit into a hole if rotated right-side up - the other ghost was its mirror image and would not fit. Children were asked to turn the ghosts in their heads and choose the one that would fit into the hole. The number of children who chose the correct ghost above chance in the three-dimensional version of the task increased dramatically from 10% of 3-year-olds to 95% of 5-year-olds; average accuracy also increased significantly, from 54% to 83%. The two-dimensional paper version yielded similar results. These results indicate considerable development in mental rotation between 3 and 5 years. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
