超过 1,800 名公立学校学生（K-12 年级，6-18 岁）参加了针对各自发展水平的 7 项空间测试。对所得数据的分析表明，(a) 利用成人纸笔测试的修改版本来衡量整个发育范围的空间能力是可行的，(b) 男性在空间表现方面的优势在 10 岁时可靠地显现出来，(c) 优势的大小在 18 岁时保持不变。协方差分析表明，早期女性在语言技能方面的倾向可能掩盖了男性在小学时期在空间能力方面的优势。没有迹象表明幼儿园儿童存在性别差异。
Over 1,800 public school students (grades K-12, ages 6-18) took a battery of 7 spatial tests tailored to their respective developmental levels. Analyses of resulting data indicate (a) that it is feasible to measure spatial ability throughout this developmental range with modified versions of adult paper-and-pencil tests, (b) that a male advantage in spatial performance appears reliably by age 10, and (c) that the magnitude of the advantage remains constant through age 18. Analysis of covariance suggests that an early female prococity in language skills may mask a male advantage in spatial ability during the primary school years. There is no indication of a sex difference in kindergarten children.
