Goldstein, Haldane, and Mitchell (1990) studied the difference of visual spatial ability between male and female math students using the Mental Rotation test. They ran two studies, one with timed and untimed testing, and one with a group of individuals that scored highly in quantitative problem solving. Within the group of individuals that had high quantitative problem solving skills the males scored significantly higher in visual spatial recognition. Within the second test group involving time an untimed testing, males scored significantly higher then females in the timed testing section. There was no difference found in visual spatial ability between males and females during the untimed testing (Goldstein, Haldane, Mitchell 1990). Studies comparing the gender and visual spatial recognition along with different fields of study; Peters, Laeng, Jackson, Zaiyouna, and Richardson (1995) conducted a spatial visualization test using a duplicated version of Vandenberg and Kuses (1978), MRT test and several different groups. In one test they compared males performance to females performance between students from the humanities field to those from the social sciences field. This study showed that males perform spatial rotational task significantly better then females in both areas of study. In the study both males from the humanities program and those from the social sciences program had significantly higher scores than the females from those departments. Their results were similar to those of Goldstein, Haldane, and Mitchells (1990) findings with the males verse females in the spatial visualization tasks (Peters, Laeng, Jackson, Zaiyouna, and Richardson 1995). Delgado and Prieto (1996) ran a 2x2 (gender and time) spatial visualization test. Using male and female high school seniors. To measure their spatial visualization abilities, Two Psychometric test were selected from Eliot and Smiths (1983) directory: The RFM test (Yela 1968)...
