Sex and Cultural Differences in Children's Spatial and Verbal Memory Span.

Orsini, Arturo; And Others

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v53 n1 p39-42 Aug 1981

Spatial span (Corsi's block tapping) and verbal span (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1113 children (ages 4-10) from urban and rural districts of Italy. The urban group performed significantly better on both tests. Sex differences, favoring boys, were found only on the spatial span test. (Author/SJL)
