This paper examines the differences between student performance on two separate measures, the Spatial Visualization portion of the "Differential Aptitude Test" and the "Geometry Content Knowledge Test." Results from the hybrid quantitative/qualitative study indicate that although there were no differences in performance on spatial visualization…

Peer reviewedSchultz, Karen A.; Austin, Joe Dan – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1983
The effect of direction of motion on the difficulty of slides, flips, and turns for first, third, and fifth graders was examined. The study considered only students with no training in transformation tasks. The investigation found that the sex main effect was not significant. (Author/MP)

Friedman, Lynn – 1992
The meta analysis reported in this paper considers the implications of combined correlational evidence for the nature of the relationships of mathematical and spatial skills, and for the possibility that spatial skill underlies gender differences in favor of males on mathematical tasks. In all, 136 studies reported in 116 articles and…

Peer reviewedBattista, Michael T. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1990
Investigates gender differences and the role of spatial visualization in problem solving in high school geometry. Reports that, whereas males and females differed in spatial visualization and in their performance, they did not differ in logical reasoning ability or in their use of geometric problem-solving strategies.
