Peer reviewedSorby, Sheryl A.; Leopold, Cornelie; Gorska, Renata – Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering, 1999
Discusses the factors that seem to be significant in the development of visualization skills, and examines gender differences in background and visualization ability for students enrolled in United States, German, and Polish technical universities. Findings indicate significant differences in spatial visualization ability between male and female…

Peer reviewedReyes, Laurie Hart; Padilla, Michael J. – Science Teacher, 1985
Examines recent data on sex-related differences in science and mathematics achievement, discussing meta-analyses findings on attitudes, career choice, life/physical science preferences, and motivation. Indicates that spatial visualization appears to be very important and that girls more often attribute success to luck rather than skill. (DH)

Peer reviewedSmith, Walter S.; Litman, Cynthia I. – Science Education, 1979
Investigated were the problems of whether a sex difference in spatial visualization ability exists among early adolescent students (ages 11-13), and whether the spatial visualization ability of these boys (N=32) and girls (N=27) is differentially affected by instruction. (HM)

Peer reviewedSmith, Walter S.; And Others – Science Education, 1983
Replicated a study to determine if a sex difference in spatial visualization ability exists among grade six students verging on adolescence and if instruction differentially affects boys/girls at this age. Although instruction significantly affected boys/girls in grades seven to eight, current results do not support the same interaction among…
