Qualitative Aspects of Sex-Related Differences in Performances on Pencil-and-Paper Spatial Questions, Grades 7-9.

Wattanawaha, Nongnuch; Clements, M. A.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n6 p878-87 Dec 1982

When 1,201 males and 1,145 females responded to a range of spatial questions, males significantly outperformed females on 25 of 72 occasions. On no occasion did females significantly outperform males. Wattanawaha's system for classifying spatial tasks was used to identify qualitative differences in performances of males and females.
