Product Description:
Functional neuroimaging studies investigating sex differences in visuospatial processing traditionally focus on mental rotation tasks in adults, as it is a consistently robust finding, with a limited number of studies examining tasks tapping visuospatial skills at a more basic level. Furthermore, fewer studies have examined this issue in conjunction with investigating whether differences exist in younger populations. Therefore, functional neuroimaging was used to examine whether sex-based differences exist and/or develop during childhood. Thirty-two participants, matched on performance, participated in this study.
