Two 15-year-olds, Jeremy and Jennifer, take a mathematics test. Jeremy will probably perform significantly better than Jennifer on which subtest?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complex reasoning abilities typically develop later in adolescence, so it is more likely that Jeremy will perform better on this subtest as a 15-year-old. Basic math knowledge, computational skills, and mathematical calculation are all areas that may be more dependent on prior instruction and practice, and therefore less impacted by age or development.
