1. SEX DIFFERENCES IN A CHILDREN'S SPATIAL SERIAL-LEARNING TASK.

Author

Orsini, A., Schiappa, O., Chiacchio, L., and Grossi, D.

Subjects
*SPATIAL behavior, *LEARNING, *TESTING
Abstract

SUMMARY Boys (n = 80) and girls (n = 80) aged 9 to 10 completed a spatial-span test and a spatial serial-learning task. Corsi's block-tapping test was used for both. Sex differences were found on each: males performed better in both cases. The better performance of males on the spatial serial-learning task was independent of their superiority in the spatial-span test. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. Effects of Age, Education and Sex on Two Tests of Immediate Memory: A Study of Normal Subjects from 20 to 99 Years of Age

Author

Orsini, A., Chiacchio, L., Cinque, M., Cocchiaro, C., Schiappa, O., and Grossi, D.

Abstract

Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping test) and verbal span (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1354 normal subjects, aged from 20 to 99 yr., who were subdivided into seven age groups, into three groups according to education, and according to sex. Analysis of variance showed that the three main factors were significant for the spatial span test, while only age and education were significant for the verbal span test. The two spans examined held well up to the 60s, and only after this age did significant differences appear in the other age groups. On both tests there were significant differences between the groups divided according to education.

Abstract

Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping) and verbal span (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1113 children aged 4 to 10 yr. from urban and rural districts of the Regione Campania. Significant differences pointing to a better performance of the "town" group were found on both tests. Sex differences were found only on the spatial span test; boys performed better than girls.
