In a study by Levine et al. (2005), elementary school children were tested in two areas of spatial performance: mental rotation and map reading. No gender differences were found among the low-income children, but the usual gender difference has found for middle- and upper-income children. What can you infer about these findings that explain the difference between low-income children and middle- and upper-income children?
What will be an ideal response?
From the results of this study, we can infer that boys in low-income environments do not have access to the activities (such as computer games, puzzles, and building toys) that give boys in more affluent environments the chance to improve their spatial skills and improve them relative to girls.
