Graphicacy Revisited: Mapping Abilities and Gender Differences.
Boardman, David
Educational Review, v42 n1 p57-64 1990
Research shows that young children are able to draw simple maps of their neighborhoods and to recognize features on aerial photographs. Among younger children there is little difference between the mapping ability of boys and girls, but as they grow older, boys consistently perform better in map drawing and map reading. (Author/SK)
