Do Individual Differences and Aging Effects in the Estimation of Geographical Slant Reflect Cognitive or Perceptual Effects
TLDR
The observed effects of age, which tended to produce lower, more accurate estimates of hill slant, provide more evidence that older adults do not see hills as steeper, and the impact of cognitive, rather than perceptual factors on individual differences in slant estimation is indicated.Abstract:
Several individual differences including age have been suggested to affect the perception of slant. A cross-sectional study of outdoor hill estimation (N = 106) was analyzed using individual differ...read more

Action ability modulates time-to-collision judgments
TL;DR: The manipulation of the momentary action capability of the observers influenced the participants’ performance in the TTC task but not in the line bisection task, and the generality of this effect using an established paradigm to measure the size of peripersonal space is investigated.

Counterpoint: Distinguishing Between Perception and Judgment of Spatial Layout
TL;DR: In this paper, Schnall argues that it is fruitless to distinguish between perception and attribution and makes the energetics hypothesis less interesting, and suggests that the attribution effects are the result of attribution effects and other kinds of judgmental biases influencing the reporting process rather than perception itself.

Evolved navigation illusion provides universal human perception measure.
TL;DR: The authors used evolutionary navigation theory to predict a universal way to measure human perceptual capacity via a distance illusion, and compared this descent illusion across groups that they selected specifically for their extreme differences: adults in the United States and a group of Ixil Maya in Guatemala.

Does who I am and what I feel determine what I see (or say)? A meta-analytic systematic review exploring the influence of real and perceived bodily state on spatial perception of the external environment
TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the role of bodily state/capacity on spatial perception measures of the environment was performed, and they found limited evidence for bodily state influencing spatial perception of the environments.

Stereotype threat and the intellectual test performance of African Americans
Claude M. Steele,Joshua Aronson +1 more
TL;DR: The role of stereotype vulnerability in the standardized test performance of ability-stigmatized groups is discussed and mere salience of the stereotype could impair Blacks' performance even when the test was not ability diagnostic.

Mental Rotation of Three-Dimensional Objects
TL;DR: The time required to recognize that two perspective drawings portray objects of the same three-dimensional shape is found to be a linearly increasing function of the angular difference in the portrayed orientations of the two objects.

Magnitude of sex differences in spatial abilities: a meta-analysis and consideration of critical variables.
TL;DR: Results showed that sex differences are significant in several tests but that some intertest differences exist, and partial support was found for the notion that the magnitude of sex differences has decreased in recent years.

Why can't a man be more like a woman? Sex differences in Big Five personality traits across 55 cultures.
TL;DR: Overall, higher levels of human development--including long and healthy life, equal access to knowledge and education, and economic wealth--were the main nation-level predictors of larger sex differences in personality.
