A study was conducted to determine the relationships between spatial reasoning, memory, metacognition, mathematical ability and verbal reasoning. The sample consisted of 80 males and 80 female 17 year old students. The Table 1 below shows a correlation matrix between the five variables.

	Spatial Reasoning	Memory	Metacogniton	Mathematical ability	Verbal reasoning
Spatial reasoning	1.00
Memory	0.56	1.00
Metacognition	0,65	0.67	1.00
Mathematical ability	0.43	0.60	0.59	1,00	.
Verbal reasoning	0.34	0.41	0.49	0.70	1,00
