One of the hardiest generalizations that has emerged from studies of sex differences in intellectual functioning is that American and European men usually outperform women on tests of spatial reasoning.1 Those who believe that this difference is due partly to biologic influences attribute the effect either to the direct action of gonadal steroids on ...

Cerebral lateralization and spatial ability
Behavior Genetics, 1976Frequencies of three cerebral dominance genotypes who show right or left ear superiority on a verbal dichotic listening test and left or right field superiority on a tachistoscopic lateral field test of perceptual dominance are deduced. A hypothesis is offered relating direction of cerebral dominance, as defined by genotype, to degree of lateral ...

Spatial ability and handedness
Intelligence, 1982Abstract The relationship between preferred handedness and spatial visualization was examined for 124 female and 229 male undergraduate students. Handedness and spatial ability were used in the design as continuous variables. Other variables examined were sex of subject and family history of sinistrality.

Visual-spatial abilities in surgical training
The American Journal of Surgery, 2000As surgery continues to advance, we will need to better understand the role visual-spatial abilities play in the acquisition of technical skills. Many universities have established surgical skills centers with specific curricula to teach residents technical skills as adjuncts to operating room learning.

The ability to create a mental image of an object and then to manipulate it mentally has significant practical application in fields such as mathematics, physics, architecture, engineering and design. It is documented that success in these fields is highly predicted by one’s ability to visualize and manipulate objects (e.g. Ghiselli, 1966).

Assessment of Spatial Abilities
1998Analyzing and understanding spatial ability is a complex enterprise. By way of illustration, consider the following daily life activities that contain a spatial aspect: parallel parking an automobile, rearranging living room furniture, reading a blueprint, giving directions to a lost traveler, deciphering the instructions that accompany an item that ...

The Complex Figure Test was designed by Rey (1941) to assess visual perception and visual memory in brain-damaged subjects. In 1944, Osterrieth administered the Rey figure to 230 children ranging in age from 4 to 15 years old and to 60 adults between 16 and 60 years old (Lezak, 1983). In 1969, Taylor made an alternative figure to be used for retesting (
