Sex differences on visual-spatial tasks have been assumed to be present in young children, and performance on visual-spatial tasks has been assumed to be resistant to modification. Third and fifth graders were pretested on embedded and successive figures. Half of the 110 children then received limited feedback after which both groups were posttested. Grade, time of testing, and type of task significantly affected visual-spatial performance. Additional study might indicate whether amount of practice influences final level of performance for girls and boys and the asymptote on visual-spatial tasks is similar.
人们认为幼儿在视觉空间任务上存在性别差异,并且视觉空间任务的表现被认为难以改变。对三年级和五年级学生进行了嵌入图形和连续图形的预测试。然后,110名儿童中有一半接受了有限的反馈,之后两组都进行了后测。年级、测试时间和任务类型对视觉空间表现有显著影响。进一步的研究可能会表明练习量是否会影响男孩和女孩的最终表现水平,以及视觉空间任务的渐近线是否相似。
