| Abstract: | Refutes the P. J. Caplan et al (see record 1986-10956-001) claim that no appreciable sex differences in spatial ability have been proven, suggesting that the Caplan et al study failed to (1) distinguish among studies that do and do not adequately reflect the spatial ability construct, (2) recognize well-established developmental differences in this ability, and (3) provide convincing documentation of the purported triviality of admitted differences.
