“…Although several psychosocial reasons for the underrepresentation of women choosing to study the STEM fields exist (e.g., Nimmesgern, 2016;Saucerman & Vasquez, 2014;Skolnik, 2015), one important reason may be that females can perform spatial tasks differently than males-starting as young as four years of age (Dawson, 2019;Levine et al, 1999;Voyer, et al, 1995;Voyer et al, 2017). Men often (but not always) have been found to show higher levels of accuracy and organization of spatial information compared to women (e.g., Acredolo, 1988;Brown et al, 1998;Cutmore et al, 2000;Gãrling et al, 1981;Gifford, 2007;Hawes & Ansari, 2020;Kirasic et al, 1984;Lehnung et al, 2003;Ward et al, 1986;Webley & Whalley, 1987).…”
