Abstract
The proposed study aims to examine the relationship between parental confidence in their children's spatial abilities and their children's confidence. Elementary-school children and their parents will complete a survey about the children's confidence in spatial thinking. This study will also analyze SES and sex differences in spatial thinking confidence.
