- Why Are Some STEM Fields More Gender Balanced Than Others? (2017, neutral): “Girls and women tend to score lower on tests of mental rotation (one component of spatial reasoning) than boys and men (Ganley & Vasilyeva, 2011; Maeda & Yoon, 2013).”
- Men, women and STEM: Why the differences and what should be done? (2020, background): “This is a well-established finding (Voyer et al., 1995), especially with respect to mental rotation (Maeda & Yoon, 2013), and it seems reasonable to think that it might be part of the reason that somewhat more men than women gravitate to fields that require above-average spatial abilities – fields…”
- Gender Gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Current Knowledge, Implications for Practice, Policy, and Future Directions (2016, neutral): “Likewise, although males tend to outscore females on tests of spatial relations involving mental rotation tasks, these gender differences have been moderated by the use of time constraints and cross-national differences in gender equality (Lippa et al. 2010; Maeda and Yoon 2013; Voyer 2011).”
- Validity: Meaning and Relevancy in Assessment for Engineering Education Research (2015, methodology): “An exemplar in the ongoing pursuit of validity, is the work conducted by Yukiko Maeda and So Yoon Yoon regarding the Revised Purdue Spatial Visualization Tests: Visualization of Rotations (Revised PSVT:R; Maeda, Yoon, Kim-Kang, & Imbrie, 2013; Maeda & Yoon, 2013).”
- Sex differences in the adult human brain: Evidence from 5,216 UK Biobank participants (2017, background): “For instance, performance on mental rotation tasks (Maeda and Yoon 2013) and physical aggression (Archer 2004) are on average higher in males, whereas self-reported interest in people versus things (Su et al.”
