Title

Dual-task results and the lateralization of spatial orientation: Artifact of test selection?

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to identify the degree to which results regarding the lateralization of spatial orientation among men and women are artifacts of test selection. A dual-task design was used to study possible lateralization differences, providing baseline and dual-task measures of spatial-orientation performance, right- and left-hand tapping, and vocalization of “cat, dog, horse.” The Guilford-Zimmerman Test (Guilford and Zimmerman, 1953), the Eliot-Price Test (Eliot and Price, 1976), and the Stumpf-Fay Cube Perspectives Test (Stumpf and Fay, 1983) were the three spatial-orientation tests used to investigate possible artifacts of test selection. Twenty-eight right-handed male and 39 right-handed female undergraduates completed random baseline and dual-task sessions. Analyses indicated no significant sex-related differences in spatial-orientation ability for all three tests. Furthermore, there was no evidence of differential lateralization of spatial orientation between the sexes. © 1998 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
