Mathematics, Gender, Spatial Performance, and Cerebral Organization: A Suppression Effect in Talented Students.

Voyer, Daniel

Roeper Review, v20 n4 p251-58 May-Jun 1998

Two studies with college students investigated the generalizability of the previously found suppression effect of mathematical achievement (as shown by high school grades in mathematics) on gender differences in spatial ability. The suppression effect was found to generalize to mathematically talented students and to a computerized task. (DB)
