If high ability in visual spatial perception is determined by an X-linked recessive major gene, then the following pattern of correlations is expected across the four groups of parents and children, this is, the mother-son, father-daughter, mother-daughter, and father-son groups: rMS=rFD greater than rMD greater than rFS=0. In a sample of 129 adolescents and their parents, the Spatial Relations Test of the Differential Aptitude Test and the Identical Blocks Test showed the pattern of correlations expected under the above hypothesis, but the Water Level Test did not. The present results provide but limited support for the X-linked recessive hypothesis.
如果视觉空间感知能力由X连锁隐性主基因决定，那么在四组父母与子女（即母子、父女、母女和父子组）中预期会出现以下相关模式：rMS = rFD大于rMD大于rFS = 0。在129名青少年及其父母的样本中，鉴别能力倾向测验中的空间关系测试和相同积木测试呈现出上述假设下预期的相关模式，但水位测试却没有。目前的结果仅为X连锁隐性假设提供了有限的支持。
