Some Methodological Issues with “Draw a Scientist Tests” among Young Children (2008, background): “Sex differences in drawings may reproduce children’s stereotyped images or projected motives—or may instead reflect greater developmental maturation among grade school girls (Flannery & Watson, 1995; Halpern, 2000; Losh-Hesselbart, 1987).”
The Relation of Secondary Students' Career-Choice Readiness to a Six-Phase Model of Career Decision Making (2007, background): “Also, the rather small difference in considered career options might be explained by the fact that women in general produce more elements in verbal free-listing tasks (cf. Halpern, 2000).”
A comparison of predictors of early emerging gender differences in mathematics competency (2008, background): “This is not surprising given that gender differences in quantitative abilities are most evident in these age groups with little evidence of significant gender differences in elementary school (Halpern, 2000).”
Executive Functions in Children Aged 6 to 13: A Dimensional and Developmental Study (2004, background): “A third interpretation is that the dimension reflects the speed–accuracy trade-off phenomenon; that is, the tendency of slowing down one’s RTs in favor of making more correct responses (Halpern, 2000), in this case fewer commission errors.”
The Smarter Sex: A Critical Review of Sex Differences in Intelligence (2000, background): “(Sex-related brain differences are discussed more fully in Halpern, 2000.) Jensen (1998) also entered the fray.”
Sex differences in intrinsic aptitude for mathematics and science?: a critical review. (2005, background): “Many discussions of the biological basis of men’s and women’s cognitive capacities focus on evidence that sex hormones modulate performance on specific cognitive tasks (for reviews, see Baron-Cohen, 2003; Halpern, 2000; and Kimura, 1999).”
Spatial Ability: A Neglected Dimension In Talent Searches For Intellectually Precocious Youth (2007, background): “However, consistent with sex differences in spatial ability observed in the general population (Geary, 1998, 2004; Halpern, 2000; Hedges & Nowell, 1995; Kimura, 1999; LoringMeier & Halpern, 1999; Lubinski & Humphreys, 1990; Masters, 1998; Parsons et al., 2003), males exhibited higher spatial abiliti”
Sex differences in the right tail of cognitive abilities: A 30 year examination (2010, background): “Although sex differences research has a rich history (Halpern, 2000; Johnson et al., 2008), foundational work by Hedges and Nowell (1995) set the stage for male–female population level ability research by examining sex ratios on multiple measures of ability (e.”
A cross-cultural analysis of the behavior of women and men: implications for the origins of sex differences. (2002, background): “…attributes such as risk taking and cognitive skills such as spatial and targeting abilities; gathering vegetal foods might be facilitated by personality traits such as patience and cognitive abilities such as good spatial location memory and perceptual speed (see Halpern, 2000; Kimura, 1999).”
Mathematical thinking of kindergarten boys and girls: similar achievement, different contributing processes (2010, methodology): “However, meta-analyses on gender differences in mathematics performance suggest that these differences appear only in secondary school (measured by the California Achievement Test), or in high school students (measured by the Scholastic Aptitude Test-Mathematics, SAT-M, or the Graduate Record Examin”
Can Stereotype Threat Explain the Gender Gap in Mathematics Performance and Achievement? (2012, background): “Irrespective of mathematics performance, there is little debate about the existence of gender differences in a variety of cognitive domains (Chrisler & McCreary, 2010; Geary, 2010; Halpern, 2000).”
How Development and Personality Influence Scientific Thought, Interest, and Achievement (2006, background): “Moreover, although there is no overall gender difference in intelligence, there does appear to be some systematic differences in the mathematical domain (males being both higher and lower than females) and in the verbal domain (females being higher; Benbow & Stanley, 1983; Geary, 1998; Halpern, 2000”
Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “During childhood when gender-role saliency is low, boys and girls show relatively little difference in intellectual abilities, and what differences exist often favors girls (Halpern 2000; Nash 1979).”
Mathematically facile adolescents with math-science aspirations: New perspectives on their educational and vocational development. (2002, unknown): “(Geary, 1996, 1998; Halpern, 2000; Hedges & Nowell, 1995; Humphreys, Lubinski, & Yao, 1993; Kimura, 1999).”
Three Facets of Visual and Verbal Learners: Cognitive Ability, Cognitive Style, and Learning Preference. (2003, background): “Sex differences in spatial and verbal ability have been the focus of much research and discussion (Halpern, 2000).”
