We studied the relation between the capacity to rotate mental images and some mental abilities measured by tests (DAT), as well as the effects of information and sex. The sample was 100 subjects, 50 boys and 50 girls, whose mean age was 16.8 yr., range 16 to 20 yr., attending high school. There is a significant correlation between the capacity to rotate images and the mental abilities of the individuals, information and sex also influence that rotation. Subjects who had information gave quick reaction times. Men rotated faster than women.

70 undergraduate students, without any prior experience of video games playing, were given a pretest and a posttest on the Space Relations Test of the DAT, Forms A and B being, respectively, administered on the two occasions. The experimental group of 38 had eight sessions of playing the Zaxxon video game, each session including five plays. The control group of 32 received no such treatment. A 2 (sex) by 2 (group) analysis of covariance, using pretest scores as the covariate, yielded a significant effect for group which supports the hypothesis that spatial visualization test scores can be improved by video game playing. Moreover, the sex-related difference in visual-spatial skills frequently reported does not appear on the pretest. Finally, no effect for sex and no interaction of group X sex were found, indicating that both male and female subjects gained equally from playing Zaxxon.
