An early sex difference in the relation between mental rotation and object preference
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Accumulating evidence suggests that males outperform females on mental rotation tasks as early as infancy. Sex differences in object preference have also been shown to emerge early in development and precede sex-typed play in childhood. Although research
