Research paper thumbnail of The Effect of Gender on Spatial Ability and Spatial Reasoning Among Students in Grades 2-8

The purpose of this study was to examine gender differences across three types of spatial ability... more The purpose of this study was to examine gender differences across three types of spatial ability; namely, spatial perception, spatial visualization, and mental rotation in conjunction with working memory. The study utilized a causal-comparative research design involving group comparisons. In this design researchers collect data about variables that they have conceptualized to be in a causal relationship to each other, but there is no intervention as in experimental research. Participants in this study included approximately 200 students in second through eighth grades at one public school and one public charter school, all located in the same school district/county. Spatial ability was measured by four categories of spatial relations tests based upon spatial cognition research proposing that spatial cognition is comprised of “three separable dimensions:” the Mental Folding Test for Children (spatial visualization), an adaptation of the Differential Aptitude Test: Space Relations (D...
