exchange packets with each other and then were given a score sheet. Students used the score sheet to evaluate their answers. Scoring was based on correct and incorrect answers, for every wrong answer participants would subtract a point from the total number of correct answers. The subtraction is to correct the 50% chance of being correct in guesswork.ResultsThe dependent variable was the number of correct scores on the MRT test. There was two independent variables, gender and Practice. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to measure the results between practice and genders. Gender was analyzed to see if there was a difference in males ability to recognize visual spatial stimuli over females abilities to recognize visual spatial stimuli. The trials were analyzed to see if practice had an effect on increasing the ability to recognize visual spatial stimuli. Results showed that males scored significantly higher than females in both trials with a mean of 12.77 for the first trial and a mean of 9.77 for the second trial. Females scored significantly lower with a mean score of 9.18 for the first trial and a mean of 7.66 for the second trial. The main effect for gender was F (1, 37) = 4.269, P * .05. There was a no significant difference between males and females for practice. The mean for the first trial was 10.01 and the mean for the second trial was 8.15. Showing that practice did not have an effect in increasing the scores of males or females. The results were F (1, 37)=9.575, P* .01. The graph in figure 1. shows the results of gender differences between males and females. The graph in figure 2. shows the results for practice effect on males and females.DiscussionMy data shows that there are sex differences in visual spatial abilities with, males scoring higher on spatial visualization task then do females. This is seen in the mean scores produced by participants scoring of the MRT test. However Practice had no effect ...
