Abstract
An analytical critique is presented of Erikson's theory that physical differences between the sexes produce differences in spatial organization, and of the experiment cited in support of that theory. Results of a new experiment are reported, which run counter to the original findings and suggest that the theory of "inner space" be reevaluated.Keywords
