| Abstract(in English) | Mental rotation of visual images may involve embodied cognition. This has been suggested by the fact that adding a head to aligned cubes increases behavioral performance in mental rotation tasks, reflecting that the cubes are regarded as human body. On the other hand, performances in mental rotation tasks have been shown to vary with sex. It is not obvious whether there are sex differences in embodied cognition involved in mental rotation tasks. In the present study, we compared behavioral performances of males from those of females in a mental rotation task with cubes with or without a head. The results indicate that embodied cognition was useful for rotation operations in both males and females, whereas adding a head was advantageous to matching processes only for females. |
