Spatial Visualization and Gender Differences in High School Geometry.
Battista, Michael T.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v21 n1 p47-60 Jan 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.
