| 11. | The argument is based on research that males outperform females on tasks of mental rotation.
|
| 12. | Their experiment specifically tested mental rotation on three-dimensional objects.
|
| 13. | Compare, for instance, arithmetic operations in the quantitative system with mental rotation in the spatial system.
|
| 14. | Males have been specifically found to perform better on spatial visualization, spatial perception, and mental rotation.
|
| 15. | A mental rotation test ( MRT ) was carried out on gymnasts, orienteers, runners, and non athletes.
|
| 16. | Specifically, males have an advantage in tests that require the mental rotation or manipulation of an object.
|
| 17. | These findings help to explain the lack of association previously reported between VVIQ scores and mental rotation performance.
|
| 18. | In order to explain this difference, we can look at the brain activation during a mental rotation task.
|
| 19. | In a typical mental rotation task, participants see two brain hemispheres, whereas non-musicians use mostly their right hemisphere.
|
| 20. | Metastudies show a male advantage in mental rotation and assessing horizontality and verticality and a female advantage in spatial memory.
