Linn, Marcia C.; Petersen, Anne C.
Child Development, v56 n6 p1479-98 Dec 1985
Results suggest that (1) sex differences are found for some types of spatial ability but not others; (2) large sex differences are found only on measures of mental rotation; (3) smaller sex differences are found on measures of spatial perception; and (4) when sex differences are found, they can be detected across the life span.
