Success in Architecture: Handedness and/or Visual Thinking.

Peterson, John M.; Lansky, Leonard M.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v50 n3 pt2 p1139-43 Jun 1980

Some data on sex and handedness in relation to academic predictors and success in architectural education were reexamined. The new variable was the notion of visual thinking, measured by the manner, "visually" or "cognitively," of executing a simple line drawing. As expected, significant differences appeared between persons using these modes. (Author/SJL)
