Sex Differences in Cognition
Fairweather, Hugh
Cognition, 4, 3, 231-80, Sep 76
Sex differences in cognitive skills, grouped into motor, spatial and linguistic areas, are assessed in relation to current theories of cerebral lateralization. Few convincing sex differences exist, either overall, or in interactions with functional localization. Qualifying criteria include age, birth order, culture, sex of experimenter and sex role pressure. (MV)
