A Look at Spatial Abilities in Undergraduate Women Science Majors.
Lord, Thomas R.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v24 n8 p757-67 Nov 1987
This Study was conducted to determine if women in the sciences were as accurate in spatial abilities as male counterparts. An experiment was also conducted to find if an intervention would improve the visuo-spatial awareness of women as rapidly as men. Data indicated that while women tended to start at a lower level, they were able to learn quickly. (RH)
