Eighteen right-handed subjects (9 males, 9 female) were to decide if laterally presented random shapes were identical or a mirror image of a centrally presented standard shape. The lateral shapes were rotated over 0 degrees, 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, or 300 degrees. For unrotated (0 degrees) mirror image stimuli, females showed a significant right visual-field advantage, whereas males showed no significant hemifield effect. The rate of rotation was equivalent for both sexes. Field of presentation did not affect the rotation rate either. The present results support a growing number of findings that indicate that the interpretation of mental rotation as a typical right-hemispheric spatial-processing task is questionable.
18名右利手受试者（9名男性，9名女性）要判断从侧面呈现的随机形状与在中央呈现的标准形状是相同还是镜像。侧面形状旋转了0度、60度、120度、180度、240度或300度。对于未旋转（0度）的镜像刺激，女性表现出显著的右视野优势，而男性未表现出显著的半视野效应。两性的旋转速率相同。呈现视野也不影响旋转速率。目前的结果支持越来越多的研究发现，这些发现表明将心理旋转解释为典型的右半球空间处理任务是值得怀疑的。
