Various studies have demonstrated the male advantage in mental-rotation tests. With the Shepard and Metzler [1] “Mental Rotation Test” the largest gender effect has been found. The present study investigated if gender differences in the MRT might be due to male characteristics of the cube figures. Therefore, 136 fourth graders solved a mental-rotation test with cube-figure items (C-MRT) and 150 fourth graders solved a novel test with pellet-figure items (P-MRT) in one of two rotational-axis conditions (rotations in picture plane vs. rotations in depth), respectively. In line with hypotheses, cube figures were male-stereotyped and pellet figures were female-stereotyped. Boys significantly outperformed girls only in tasks with cube figures rotated in-depth, while there was no significant gender effect found in the picture-plane conditions and for pellet figures rotated in-depth. So, there seems to be an influence of both, stimulus content and rotational axis on mental-rotation performance.
