Abstract

Many recent studies have reported a convergence in the scores of males and females on spatial tests; however, these studies also indicate different amounts of convergence. There are indications that spatial differences continue to exist. It was decided to study such differences in spatial ability on two different tests for two groups of South African first-year university students ( ns = 60), one from arts and one from the sciences. In all comparisons statistically significant differences were found between the sexes.
