Note. PMA = Primary Mental Abilities battery; V & K = Vandenberg and Kuse; JLAP = Judgment of Line Angle and Position; DAT = Differential Aptitude Tests.

Citations provided by authors, unless noted otherwise (see Supplementary Material for spatial test references as provided by original studies):

a

Thurstone (1963); despite minor name differences in original articles, PMA “Spatial” (Baker & Ehrhardt, 1974) and “Space” (Berenbaum et al., 2012) are presumed or confirmed to be the PMA-Spatial Relations test.

b

r

No citation given, but presumably an edition or modification of the Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (Quasha & Likert, 1937).

s

Ages for the full sample started at 11 years, but the relevant spatial means and SDs were given only for participants aged 16 and older.

t

Participants aged 11.5 to 21 years were recruited and three females above 21 years also volunteered, with ages available for two of the three (22 and 30 years).
