The Effect of Time Limits on Performance of Mental Rotations by Gifted Adolescents

The mental rotation skill of mathematically talented male and female adolescents was measured with an altered test administration procedure so that students could complete the test after the time limit expired. This procedure was used to compare performance under traditional timed test conditions and conditions in which the effects of time on performance were minimized. A significant difference was found favoring males in both conditions. A comparison between Timed and Composite scores, however, showed that the male advantage decreased substantially when the effect of time was minimized.
