Abstract
One hundred-twenty seventh- and eighth-grade students in a selected county in Georgia served as subjects for the testing of visual memory skills. There were fifty-one males and sixty-nine females involved in the study. Ten pictures from the Rosner Spatial Visualization Test (RSYT) were shown, one at a time, on an overhead projector. The students were to study the pictures for fifteen seconds and then were given an additional fifteen seconds to reproduce each picture on dot paper. After the students finished each drawing, they were asked to tell whether or not they felt that their reproduction was correct by writing yes or no beside the picture. The papers were scored as to the number of correct reproductions each student made. Based on the results of a t-test, at the .05 level of confidence, there was a significant difference in male and female visual memory skills.
