Across three samples, spatial imagery predicted selection into STEM fields across genders.

Non-spatial/object imagery showed a different pattern: men with poor object imagery were more likely to pursue computationally-intensive STEM occupations, a pattern not observed in women.

New paper from my postdoc with
@brianlevine.bsky.social now out in #PersonalityandIndividualDifferences!

We examined how different types of visual imagery relate to #STEM occupations across genders using a dimensional approach to code occupational attributes.

What would ‘phonics for maths’ actually look like? Politicians have suggested we should make early maths more like phonics, but what would that look like in practice? Tes spoke to maths researcher Daniel Ansari to find out
