Coding and Drawing of Simple Geometric Stimuli by Bukusu Schoolchildren in Kenya

King's College, University of Aberdeen

Bukusu schoolboys were asked to draw a cube and a tetrahedron, the stimulus being either in a form of a skeleton solid or its picture. Two response conditions were used: in one, subjects drew the drawing with model present; in the other, they drew after it had been removed from sight. No significant difference was observed between the responses made to the model, whether from recall or with model present. This finding also applied to drawings of a tetrahedron but not to drawings of a cube which, when time lapse between inspection and drawing was allowed, evoked responses similar to those evoked by the model. Drawings made without such a lapse of time differed significantly from those made in response to respective models.
