“…The better performance exhibited by males in activities involving visuo-spatial abilities is in line with previous studies (e.g., Brosnan, 1998;Caldera, 1999;Casey, Pezaris, & Bassi, 2012). However, the lack gender influence on mental imagery appears to be in contrast with other results (e.g., Harris, 1979), which reported that males have an enhanced ability to manipulate mental images, especially when mentally rotating objects. Usually, the differences between males and females become clearer after the pubertal age.…”

“…Los, niños, a su vez, son superiores en aptitudes visual-espaciales a partir de aproximadamente la purbertad. Igualmente aventajan a las niñas en aptitud matemática a partir de los once o doce años, aunque la magnitud de esta diferencia varía grandemente de una población a otra y todavía no están resueltos muchos interrogantes en torno a qué es lo que se entiende por «aptitud matemática» (Harris, 1978;Sherman, 1978;Harris, 1979;Benbow y Stanley, 1980).
