RELATN BETWEEN LANGUAGE LATERALISATN AND SPATIAL ABILY GAY AND STRAIGHT WOMEN AND MEN
Deleatg the relatnship between language lateralisatn and spatial abily remas an elive goal. To explore the associatn of sexual orientatn to the language lateralisatn/spatial abily relatnship, heterosexual (HT) women, HT men, lbians, and gay men (20 per group) pleted a di … * gay spatial ability *
Acrdg to the cross-sex shift hypothis, gay men are hypothized to perform the directn of heterosexual women and lbian women the directn of heterosexual men on gnive tts. Forty-four heterosexual men, 43 heterosexual women, 39 gay men, and 34 lbian/bisexual women (aged 18–54 years) navigated a sktop VMWM and pleted measur of telligence, handns, and childhood genr nonnformy (CGN).

CAPE TOWN’S GAY VILLAGE: OM “GAYTRIFIED” TOURISM MEC TO “HETEROSEXUALISED” URBAN SPACE
Morate support was obtaed a sample of 101 gay, bisexual, and heterosexual mal for the peratal hormone theory, which hypothiz that attenuated levels of androgens durg cril perds of male fetal velopment fail to masculize and femize the bra. Affected dividuals velop … * gay spatial ability *
Gay men have lower sr pared to heterosexual men on basic tts of spatial abily, such as mental rotatns and judgment of le orientatn (but are not signifintly different om heterosexual women) (Collaer, Reimers, & Manng, 2007; McCormick & Welson, 1991; Neave, Menaged, & Weightman, 1999; Rahman & Wilson, 2003; Sanrs & Ross-Field, 1986; Sanrs & Wright, 1997; Weg, 1998).

Two studi have reported that gay men have lower performance pared to heterosexual men spatial navigatn (one study g a virtual Morris water maze) and are no different to heterosexual women (Cánovas & Cimavilla, 2011; Rahman & Koertg, 2008).
There are also ditns that gay men e more landmark-type strategi durg spatial performance although a systematic study of search paths has not yet been nducted (Cánovas & Cimavilla, 2011; Rahman et al., 2005). Two further studi have found that gay men had greater object lotn memory pared to heterosexual men (and were no different om heterosexual women) (Hassan & Rahman, 2007; Rahman, Wilson, & Abrahams, 2003). One large, cross-natnal study has found that some of the gnive differenc were replible non-Wtern groups (Collaer et al., 2007) broad terms, this evince dit that the gnive profil of gay men are “femized” or are “cross-sex shifted.

” That is, where there is a general sex difference a particular gnive abily, gay men will perform, on average, the same directn as heterosexual women. Another study reported an associatn between CGN and verbal IQ sr among heterosexual men and women but not gay men (Rahman, Bhanot, Emrh-Small, Ghafoor, & Roberts, 2012).
Based on the existg evince for a cross-sex shift the spatial performance of gay pared to heterosexual men, we predicted that heterosexual men would outperform heterosexual women, gay men, and lbian women on spatial learng and spatial memory durg the VMWM. In addn, we predicted that heterosexual men would e a more “direct” spatial strategy (such as visual snng) durg spatial learng pared to heterosexual women, gay men, and lbian women (who would e more landmark or thigmotaxic strategi).
