Do gender differences exist in perceptual-motor performance, and, if so, are the differences as substantial as those observed in trade/technical knowledge tests? What roles do general cognitive ability and videogame experience have in determining perceptual-motor performance? To address these questions, we administered a battery of computer-based tests requiring multilimb coordination and perceptual matching to a sample of 392 USAF enlistees (72% male). Our main findings were that general cognitive ability had the expected positive main effect on performance and gender and videogame experience had an interactive effect, such that videogame experience benefited men's but not women's performance. The role of experience on perceptual-motor performance merits further attention, especially with regard to gender differences.
感知运动表现中是否存在性别差异？如果存在，这些差异是否与在贸易/技术知识测试中观察到的差异一样显著？一般认知能力和电子游戏经验在决定感知运动表现方面起什么作用？为了回答这些问题，我们对392名美国空军新兵（72%为男性）进行了一系列基于计算机的测试，这些测试需要多肢体协调和感知匹配。我们的主要发现是，一般认知能力对表现有预期的正向主效应，性别和电子游戏经验有交互效应，即电子游戏经验对男性的表现有益，而对女性则不然。经验在感知运动表现中的作用值得进一步关注，尤其是关于性别差异方面。
