title: Sex differences in formal operations.
abstract: Research relating cognitive development to gender has been rather limited. The few studies that have explored such a relationship have been conclusive. The object of this study was to explore whether African students' performance on formal operations measure would be related to whether they were male or female. The results showed that gender was not related to performance on formal operations, as the mean difference between the two sets of subjects was statistically nonsignificant.
