Science 314, 599–600. doi: 10.1126/science.1132154 A number of selection criteria allowed us to determine whether a study could be included in the meta-analysis. Accordingly, as a first step, the second author carefully read the abstract for each study to determine if the inclusion criteria were met. When fit with the inclusion criteria remained unclear after consultation of the abstract, the actual paper was consulted by the three authors.S c o r e i j = γ 00 + γ 01 ( M a j o r ) + γ 10 ( G e n d e r ) + γ 20 ( C o ⁢ var i a t e s ) + μ 0 j + γ i j Results and Discussion

This task was based on Shepard’s mental rotation task ( Shepard and Metzler, 1971). For each trial, one three-dimensional image was presented on the upper part of the screen, and two others on the lower part. Participants were asked to choose one from the bottom to match with the top; the matching image could be identified only by mental rotation. Participants were asked to press the “Q” key if he/she chose the image on the left, or the “P” key he/she chose the image on the right. The formal test included 180 trials and was limited to 3 min. The rotation angles of the images were 15°, 30°, …, 345°, with a step of 15°. Each trial would remain on the screen until participants responded by pressing “P” or “Q”.

They commit much more violence than women do and, apart from rape, also suffer a much higher rate of violent victimization. They die earlier than women and are injured more often. Because men are less involved than women in child-rearing, they also miss out on the joy of parenting that women are much more likely to experience.One issue that arises when attempting to define visual-spatial working memory is that there are as many definitions of this concept as there are theories used to explain its functioning. Wang and Carr ( 2014) present an excellent summary of the various theoretical perspectives and their implied definitions for visual-spatial working memory. However, our goal in defining visual-spatial working memory was to stay away from any specific theory while remaining broad in the inclusiveness of our definition. Therefore, throughout the present article, we use the term visual-spatial working memory in a theory-neutral manner to refer to the processes involved in the storage of spatial or visual information over a limited period of time. The studies that we sampled in our meta-analysis reflect this general definition. Identifying potential moderators Where β 0 j was the mean score for class j, γ 00 was the grand mean score across all classes, γ 01 was the slope of level-2 variable region predicting the mean score for class j, and μ 0 j was the random component of the mean score for class j. β 1 j, β 2 j, and β 3 j, were the slopes of age, gender and covariates predicting the mean score for class j.
