这项研究考察了导航策略、地图绘制和地图阅读技能在完成Collaer和Nelson的直线角度和位置判断15测试和Piaget水位测试的两个版本之一的124名美国本科生男性和女性的空间知觉表现中的关系。分析表明，当使用阅读地图、绘制地图和导航技能的自我知觉作为协变量时，表现上的性别差异被消除。男性使用定向(红衣主教)，而女性使用里程碑式的寻路策略。引入精细的运动技能来解决直线角度和位置的判断-15消除了性别差异。数据表明，空间感知在一定程度上受到地图阅读和寻路策略的影响。
This study examined how navigational strategies, map drawing, and map reading skills may, be related in spatial perception performance of 124 U.S. undergraduate Men and women who completed one of two versions of Collaer and Nelson son's Judgment of Line Angle and Position-15 test and Piaget's Water Level Test. Analysis indicated sex differences in performance were eliminated when self-perceptions of map reading, map drawing, and navigational skills were Used as covariates. The men used an orientation (cardinal), whereas the women used a landmark way-finding strategy. Introducing a fine motor skill to solve the Judgement of Line Angle and Position-15 eliminated the sex difference. The data suggest spatial perception is in part influenced by map reading and way-finding strategies.
