Michelle L. Rivers; Charles J. Fitzsimmons; Susan R. Fisk; John Dunlosky; Clarissa A. Thompson – Grantee Submission, 2021
Prior research has found gender differences in spatial tasks in which men perform better, and are more confident, than women. Do gender differences also occur in people's confidence as they perform number-line estimation, a common spatial-numeric task predictive of math achievement? To investigate this question, we analyzed outcomes from six…
