Dynamic stereo acuity thresholds were obtained for 30 male and female Ss at speeds of rotation of 120°/sec. after pretraining at either 0°, 60°, or 120°/sec. Under conditions of no pretraining females showed significantly larger discrimination errors than males. Pretraining, however, resulted in comparable threshold performance between males and females. Socio-cultural factors responsible for these differences are suggested.
