The authors demonstrate that learning occurs on the Group Embedded Figures Test in that scores on the second section of the test are higher, on average, than scores on the first section of the test. They further report that performance differentials between men and women are not evident for either absolute performance or improvement in performance when differences in curriculum are taken into account.
