Dr Carter Is Attempting to Fund a New Instruction and Training

Dr. Carter is attempting to fund a new instruction and training program to improve mathematical and visuospatial thinking among teenaged girls. Should a granting agency be enthusiastic?

A) Not really. Research shows that the "gender gap" in mathematical and spatial thinking may be lessened by instruction, but the improvement is very small.
B) Yes. Research shows that the "gender gap" in mathematical and spatial thinking may be lessened by experience, instruction, encouragement, and the like.
C) No. The 'gender gap' in mathematical and spatial thinking appears only among girls in elementary school.
D) No. The "gender gap" in mathematical and spatial thinking is largely hormonal in origin, and therefore difficult to remediate.
