Sex differences in a children's spatial serial-learning task. 1982

A Orsini, and O Schiappa, and L Chiacchio, and D Grossi

Boys (n = 80) and girls (n = 80) aged 9 to 10 completed a spatial-span test and a spatial serial-learning task. Corsi's block-tapping test was used for both. Sex differences were found on each: males performed better in both cases. The better performance of males on the spatial serial-learning task was independent of their superiority in the spatial-span test.
