Store, , July 2010 properly! Part 1: Cognitive Development Source: Rosselli, M?nica, Ardila, Alfredo, Matute,
Esmeralda & Inozemtseva, Olga, May 2009, Gender Differences and Cognitive Correlates of Mathematical Skills in School-Aged Children, Child Neuropsychology, vol. 15, p. 216-231. Purpose: This study attempted to answer two
questions: 1. Are gender differences in childrens mathematical test performance interrelated with age, And 2. Would verbal and nonverbal cognitive nonmathematical tests be predictive of gender differences in childrens mathematical
test performance? Subjects: 278 children between the ages of 7 and 10 and 248 children between the ages of 13 and 16. These represented grades 1-5 and grades 7-11. Children

Assessment) is a neuropsychological test battery from which two types of cognitive measures were used: six mathematical subtests and two nonmathematical subtests. These were a verbal fluency test and a
spatial and nonverbal test (object integration). Math tests included reading Arabic numbers, writing Arabic numbers, ordering of numbers number/magnitude comparisons, mental math and arithmetic problems. Findings/Conclusions: Gender had an effect
on Arithmetical problems and mental math with boys scoring must higher than girls. Age did not matter with the mental math but it did matter with arithmetic problems. Boys scored
significantly higher in Object Integration and girls scored significantly higher in Verbal Fluency. Personal Reaction: The issue of boys performing better than girls in mathematics is a controversial
