Mathematical ability. Studies among

toward mathematics result from superior
male mathematical ability, which may in
turn be related to greater male ability in
spatial tasks."

Not sure when this study was completed Bob, and I'm also not sure what
age group the study you reference covers, but the information I just
saw two days ago cited just the opposite. Girls were testing MUCH
higher than boys in elementary school.


That has to do with GameBoy and XBox, versus Math :-).
