本研究调查了807名六年级新加坡学生的潜在性别差异，涉及两个变量：空间视觉化能力和认知风格。与总体趋势相反，总体而言，空间视觉能力没有显着的性别差异。然而，在具有高空间视觉能力的学生中，性别差异普遍存在，男生占优势。在认知风格方面，被试在空间意象和言语信息加工维度上存在显著的性别差异。男生对空间意象编码和加工偏好的评价高于对言语信息加工偏好的评价。其中一些研究结果与教育心理学文献中进行的研究相反。在新加坡学校的教学实践的影响。
This study investigated potential gender differences in a sample of 807 Year 6 Singaporean students in relation to two variables: spatial visualisation ability and cognitive style. In contrast to the general trend, overall there were no significant gender differences on spatial visualisation ability. However, gender differences were prevalent among students who possessed high spatial visualisation ability, in favour of boys. In terms of cognitive style, there were significant gender differences in the spatial imagery and verbal information processing dimensions. Boys gave higher ratings to their spatial-imagery encoding and processing preferences than their verbal information processing preferences. Some of these findings are in contrast to studies undertaken in the educational-psychology literature. Implications are drawn regarding pedagogical practices in Singaporean schools.
