整体表象与局部表象的产生及其性别差异

目的:探索整体表象和局部表象的产生及其性别差异。方法:被试在足够的时间内习得20幅动物图片,主试根据每幅图片提出一个整体表象问题和一个局部表象问题并以文字形式呈现在电脑屏幕上,通过被试自主按键反应记录整体表象和局部表象产生的时间。46名大学生参加了该实验,男女各半,平均年龄为23.5(男24,女23)。结果:(1)整体表象与局部表象产生之间存在显著差异,产生整体表象明显快于局部表象;(2)在表象产生上存在显著的性别差异,女性产生表象的速度显著快于男性。(3)产生的表象类型与性别之间存在明显的交互作用,女生与男生对整体表象的产生无显著性差异,而对于局部表象的产生,则女生明显快于男生。结论:整体与局部表象的产生是由不同的加工过程完成并因性别不同表现出显著的差异。

The Generation of Global and Local Mental Rehearsal and Its Gender Differences

Objective:To investigate the production of global and local mental rehearsal and its gender differences.Methods:In this experiment,46 undergraduate students were selected as subjects(23 males,23 females;mean age:23.5 years),who acquired 20 ani- mal pictures,according to which,experimenters presented a question of global or local mental rehearsal,and then the generation time of global and local rehearsal was recorded by autonomically pressing buttons of the subjects.Results:There were significant gender differ- ences in the generation of global and local mental rehearsal:the global rehearsal was faster than the local one;the response of females were quicker than that of males,especially in the generation of local rehearsal.Conclusion:The generation of global and local rehearsal results from the fulfillment of different processing,which shows significant difference because of sex.
