Development of Mental Rotation: A Speed-Accuracy Study.
Kail, Robert
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v40 n1 p181-92 Aug 1985
Equally divided by sex and distributed equally across fourth/fifth, eighth/ninth, and college grade levels, 144 subjects performed a mental rotation task under instructions emphasizing either accuracy or speed of response, or both. Instructions had large and consistent effects on speed of response but were not as uniformly effective in their impact on accuracy. (BE/RH)
