“…Males and females have been found to rely on different cues (Tropp & Markus, 2001), with males being more selectively tuned to geometry and females to objects or landmarks (Astur, Ortiz, & Sutherland, 1998;Collaer & Nelson, 2002;Dabbs, Chang, Strong, & Milun, 1997;Galea & Kimura, 1993;Miller & Santoni, 1986;Sandstrom et al, 1998;Saucier et al, 2002). Improved performance in females, but not males, after training has also been reported in rats (Perrot-Sinal, Kostenuik, Ossenkopp, & Kavaliers, 1996) and in several human studies (Goldstein & Chance, 1965;Goldstein et al, 1990;Johnson, Flinn, & Tyer, 1979;Sacuzzo, Craig, Johnson, & Larson, 1996;Stericker & LeVesconte, 1983;Vasta, Knott, & Gaze, 1996).…”
