{ "pk": 24788, "title": "Unfolding Structure in the Drawings of Cubes", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Recent work using neural networks and crowd-sourced perceptual judgements has shown that human figure drawings contain latent structure that can predict many characteristics of the artist including parent-reported motor function and perceived gender. We extend these approaches to two-dimensional renderings of three-dimensional cubes, assessing whether latent structure in these cube drawings likewise predicts demographic characteristics and motor function measured via a paper-folding task. Drawings produced with marker and paper showed a large predictive relationship with paper-folding (accounting for 59% of the offset variance, 62% of the angle variance, ps < .01). We also observed a complex interaction with gender: better cube-drawings predicted better paper-folding for male-identifying participants, but this relationship was reversed for female-identifying participants, who demonstrated better paper folding abilities overall. The results suggest that cube drawings contain richer structure than previously recognized and can provide a useful nonverbal metric for characterizing aspects of cognitive and motor abilities.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Cognitive development; Motor control; Spatial cognition; Knowledge representation; Neural Networks" } ], "section": "Abstracts", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1db795jx", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Clint", "middle_name": "A.", "last_name": "Jensen", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin - Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Timothy", "middle_name": "T", "last_name": "Rogers", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin- Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Brittany G.", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Travers", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Heather", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Kirkorian", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin-Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Karl", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Rosengren", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Rochester", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2024-01-01T11:00:00-07:00", "render_galley": { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24788/galley/21695/download/" }, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24788/galley/14386/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24788/galley/18243/download/" }, { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/24788/galley/21695/download/" } ] }
