title: Gender differences in Piagetian visual-spatial representation of verticality and horizontality.
abstract: Visual-spatial representations of verticality and horizontality (V/H) were assessed by novel plumb-line and water-level tasks in a replication of Jamison and Signorella's (1980) study of sex role orientation differences in V/H performance. Comparisons between men and women classified as masculine, feminine, and androgynous revealed no significant effect for either sex role orientation or for interactions between orientation and sex on V/H performance. The main effect for sex was significant, favoring men.
