3 Intelligence and Cognitive Abilities: 1. Do females and males differ in their cognitive abilities?

4 Do females and males differ in their cognitive abilities? A large body of research has examined the cognitive abilities of females and males. This research can be grouped into clusters:

5 Research on sensation and perception:  Olfaction: F > M.  Taste: F > M.  Audition: F > M. Exception: Sound localization.  Vision: M > F. Exceptions: Adaptability to darkness, tolerance for high levels of illumination. Males are prone to attend to “mechanical motion,” whereas females are prone to attend to “biological motion.”

6 Research on general intelligence:  IQ: F = M. Research on general knowledge:  Current affairs, recreation, technology, geography, history: M > F.  Medicine: F > M.  Psychology, literature, business, art: F = M.  Subjective estimates: M > F.

7 Research on verbal ability:  Wechsler’s verbal intelligence scale: F > M.  Reading fluency and comprehension: F > M.  Writing ability: F > M.  Verbal memory: F > M.  Synonym generation: F > M.  Spelling: F > M.  Speech articulation: F > M.

8  Dyslexia: M > F. Note that research indicates that teachers “overestimate” the number of boys with reading disabilities.  Meta-analysis: d for overall verbal ability is  Stuttering: M > F.  Sex differences in verbal abilities are consistent across age groups, but appear to be decreasing across time.  Hyde (1981, 1988) maintains that gender accounts for only 1% of variance in verbal ability.

9 Research on mathematical ability:  Arithmetic computation: F > M.  Geometry: M > F.  Standardized mathematics tests (e.g., SAT, GRE): M > F.  Mathematically-gifted individuals: M > F.  Problem solving: M > F.  Grades in math classes: F > M.

10  Confidence in and identification with mathematics: M > F.  Sex differences in mathematical ability increase across age groups, but appear to be decreasing across time.  Meta-analyses: ds for overall mathematical ability range from +.03 to +.26.
