Abstract

Se analizó la influencia de la habilidad de imagen espacial, rotación de imágenes y género, en la preferencia y grado de dificultad percibida en diferentes métodos explicativos en economía. A un grupo de estudiantes de Economía y Empresa se le presentó un argumento económico a través de cuatro métodos. Se obtuvo su valoración de preferencia y dificultad con estos métodos, y se les aplicó el test MASMI y el test MRT. Se encontró mayor dificultad con la Representación gráfica en estudiantes con baja habilidad de rotación de imagen y en aquéllos con baja habilidad de imagen espacial.
