The Role Of Stereopsis And The Mental Rotation Task In Gender Disparities

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at the effect of the mental rotation task and stereopsis on gender disparities. N=60 individuals of both genders participated in the stereoscopic evaluation and mental rotation task trials. The stereoscopic results in experiment -1 demonstrated that both group participants had comparable binocular function parameters and normal depth perception. In Experiment 2, when spatial skills were tested using the mental rotation task, male individuals had superior spatial abilities and performance to female participants. We also discovered that the current male advantage for mental rotation tasks might extend to all levels of rotation that differences in the proportions of this advantage between tests are at least in part attributable to dissimilar levels of problem, and that developing prototype-based tasks for spatial abilities can improve spatial cognitive functions.
