A Gender Difference in Visual-Spatial Ability in 4-Year-Old Children: Effects on Performance of a Kinesthetic Acuity Task.
Livesey, David J.; Intili, Daniela
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v63 n2 p436-46 Nov 1996
Compared male and female four-year-olds' performance on a kinesthetic acuity test (KAT) with or without extra visual-spatial cues and on a measure of visual-spatial ability. Found that all children performed better on the KAT with extra cues and that boys scored higher on visual-spatial ability and performed better on the KAT only with extra cues. (KDFB)
