• Sex differences in mental rotation and spatial visualization ability: Can they be accounted for by differences in working memory capacity? (2007, neutral): “…(Kimura & Hampson, 1992; Lynn, 1994; Plomin, DeFries, & McClearn, 1990), environmental (Astin, Sax, Korn, & Mahoney, 1995; Harris, 1995; Lytton & Romney, 1991), and psychobiological (Halpern, 1997; Halpern & LaMay, 2000), have been put forward to explain sex differences in spatial ability.”
• Spatial Ability and Earth Science Conceptual Understanding (2005, background): “A large body of literature has described mean differences between the sexes, often favoring males, in some types of spatial ability (Halpern and Lamay, 2000).”
• Modeling Mathematics Achievement of Jewish and Arab Eighth Graders in Israel: The Effects of Learner-Related Variables (2005, background): “Empirical research further indicated that boys tend to score higher than girls in standardized tests (Halpern & LaMay, 2000) and that the gender gap is more prevalent at the extremes of ability distributions (Willingham, Warren, & Cole, 1997).”
• Gender Differences in the Self-Assessment of Accuracy on Cognitive Tasks (2003, methodology): “The accuracy levels of men and women were again remarkably similar on the tests used in Study 2. This was unsurprising for the reasoning tasks, where gender differences are not reported in the literature ( Halpern & LaMay, 2000 ).”
• The strong, sensitive type : Effects of gender stereotypes and leadership prototypes on the evaluation of male and female leaders (2008, background): “Further, research suggests that there are no differences in intelligence between men and women (Halpern & LaMay, 2000).”
• Intelligence and neural efficiency. (2009, neutral): “This appears to be important not only in view of sex differences in structural parameters of the brain (e.g., Haier et al., 2005; Luders et al., 2004) and in neural efficiency (Neubauer et al., 2005) but also in view of sex differences in a variety of memory tasks (see Halpern and LaMay, 2000).”
• The effects of using drawings in developing young children’s mathematical word problem solving: A design experiment with third-grade Hungarian students (2012, background): “Although there may be differences between boys and girls in certain fields of mathematical knowledge (Geary, 1999) or in certain populations (Halpern & LaMay, 2000), the effect size of students’ sex will be lower than participating in the intervention program.”
• Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability: A Meta-Analytic Review (2013, background): “Mental rotation is one of the most widely researched areas of cognitive gender differences (Halpern and Lamay 2000), due in part to the fact comparisons of men and women in mental rotation show the largest effect sizes of all spatial tasks (Voyer et al. 1995).”
