Abstract

Testosterone and estradiol levels were measured by saliva assays in 15 young men, and their relationships with different processes in a mental rotation task were elucidated. The estradiol level was positively correlated with reaction time; this effect was yielded by the slope of functions relating performance to angular disparity. These findings suggest that estrogen may inhibit the performance of a mental rotation task by affecting perception of the rotation process.

年轻男性唾液雌二醇与心理旋转成分的关系。

通过唾液测定15名年轻男性的睾酮和雌二醇水平，并阐明它们与心理旋转任务中不同过程的关系。雌二醇水平与反应时间呈正相关;这种效果是由与角视差有关的性能函数的斜率产生的。这些发现表明，雌激素可能通过影响对旋转过程的感知来抑制心理旋转任务的表现。
