A Longitudinal Study of Predictors of Spatial Ability in Adolescent Females.
Newcombe, Nora; Dubas, Judith Semon
Child Development, v63 n1 p37-46 Feb 1992
Examined the longitudinal predictability of spatial ability in late-adolescent females. No timing of puberty or lateralization effects were observed. These findings strengthen evidence that sex-related differences in spatial ability could be experientially determined and may help to focus the search for exactly how this occurs. (Author/GLR)
