    This study explored how women perform on visual-spatial tasks, finding that reversible-perspective items were easier in individual tests. Difficulty with these tasks correlated with more psychiatric complaints and higher sociability.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Science
    • Visual Perception

    Background:

    • Embedded-figures tests assess visual-spatial abilities.
    • Reversible-perspective items present unique perceptual challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between performance on reversible-perspective items and other variables.
    • To explore personality correlates of difficulty with these specific visual tasks.

    Main Methods:

    • Two samples of normal females completed individual and group embedded-figures tests.
    • Performance on reversible-perspective items was compared to other test items.
    • Personality variables and "psychiatric" complaints were assessed.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Performance on reversible-perspective items exceeded that on remaining items in the individual test.
    • Performance on reversible-perspective items was comparable to other items in the group test.
    • Individuals experiencing difficulty with reversible-perspective items reported more "psychiatric" complaints and greater sociability.

    Conclusions:

    • Reversible-perspective items may tap distinct cognitive processes compared to standard embedded-figures tasks.
    • Perceptual difficulties in this domain are associated with specific personality traits and psychological experiences.
