According to the research on spatial abilities,
a. females may receive higher scores if the instructions are related to traditionally female interests, rather than traditionally male interests..
b. a major portion of the gender differences in spatial ability is traced to biologically based gender differences.
c. although some gender differences in spatial abilities are not consistent, the gender differences in mental rotation have been consistently found throughout the current research.
d. the scores for mental rotation are distributed in a bell-shaped curve for both males and females.
Question 2
Your text describes Favreau's re-analysis of data on gender differences in mental rotation. When Favreau examined the distributions of scores for males and females, she noticed that
a. the distributions were virtually identical.
b. some of the females actually had faster rotation times than the fastest males.
c. most of the males had faster rotation times than most of the females.
d. the gender difference could be accounted for by a small number of females with very slow rotation times.
