Vandenburg and Kuse
Steven G. Vandenberg and Allan R. Kuse conducted a similar experiment in 1978 that was based on Shepard and Metzler’s original study. This test was constructed using India ink drawings. Each stimulus was a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional object drawn by a computer. The image was then displayed on an oscilloscope. Each image was then shown at different orientations rotated around the vertical axis. Following the basic ideas of Shepard and Metzler’s experiment, this study found a significant difference in the mental rotation scores between both the two sexes. Correlations with other measures showed strong association with tests of spatial visualization and no association with verbal ability (Kuse & Vandenberg 1978).
