• Examining Sources of Gender DIF in Mathematics Assessments Using a Confirmatory Multidimensional Model Approach (2006, background): “Doolittle and Cleary (1987) found that girls did more poorly than boys on geometry items.”
• Impact of Gender Differences on the Evaluation of Promotional Emails (2004, result): “Consistent with this anecdote is the research in psychology that shows males and females differ in spatial skills with females having markedly higher preference for visual cues than men (Casey, Nuttall, and Pezaris, 2001).”
• Think3d!: Training Spatial Thinking Fundamental to STEM Education (2013, background): “This suggests that training may lead to increased confidence (M. B. Casey et al., 2001; Linn & Hyde, 1989), which in turn has implications for female retention in STEM.”
