“…We would expect this effect to become even stronger after adjustment for duration of alcohol dependence; however, we were not able to analyze this due to selectively missing data. Several authors found that men performed better than women on a figure recognition task (Abramov, Gordon, Feldman, & Chavarga, 2012;Halpern & LaMay, 2000). However, a more recent study did not find gender-related differences in figure recognition (Lewis, Rees, & Lee, 2009).…”

Background: Alcohol dependence is associated with impairments in cognition, especially in later life. Previous studies suggest that excessive drinking has more negative impact on cognition in women than in men. Objectives: In this study, differences in cognition between male and female older, alcoholdependent patients were examined. Method: Older alcohol-dependent inpatients (N = 164, 62.2% men, mean age 62.6 ± 6.4) underwent neuropsychological tests of sensitivity to interference, mental flexibility, and visual processing. Results: No gender differences were found in age, educational level, estimated premorbid verbal intelligence, and sensitivity to interference. Duration of alcohol dependence was longer for men than for women. Men performed better than women on visual processing, and women better than men on mental flexibility. The superior mental flexibility of women remained significant after adjustment for duration of alcohol dependence. Conclusions/Importance: Older alcohol-dependent inpatients performed below average on cognitive tasks, which suggests that long-term excessive alcohol use negatively affects cognition. Our study does not demonstrate more severe cognitive impairment in women than in men.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of demographic factors on cognitive ability (memory and attention) among hearing-impaired students. Data from 163 hearing-impaired students were collected using simple random sampling at five polytechnics in Malaysia. The Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) software were utilised to examine cognitive ability (memory and attention). Demographic factors consist of gender, hearing aid usage and parents' hearing status. The results revealed that attention and memory differed according to hearing aid usage and parent's status of hearing. No significant differences were found for memory and attention according to hearing-impaired gender. The findings of this study will enable the education authority to direct these special students in a way that best suits the institution and students goals.

“…For example, higher systemizing was expected to relate to higher intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy and lower anxiety in math-intensive STEM domains, which in turn were expected to relate to higher achievement in pre-college STEM courses and stronger intentions to persist in STEM in college. There are few empirical studies linking systemizing cognitive skills with learning anxiety or intrinsic motivation (Zeyer et al 2013), but Halpern and LaMay (2000) argue that individuals acquire cognitive systemizing skills by spontaneously engaging in activities in which those skills are useful. These experiences lead to decreased anxiety in novel situations and increased motivation to further engage in such tasks.…”

Systemizing and the gender gap: examining academic achievement and perseverance in STEM

et al. 2018

For years, a popular explanation for women choosing to abandon studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has been their lack of aptitude. This study challenged that notion by integrating theories of cognitive style, academic emotion, selfefficacy, and motivation to explain students' academic achievement and perseverance in STEM when transitioning to college. A sample of 1597 high school and junior college students participated. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were first conducted to validate a reduced version of the cognitive style questionnaire. Structural equation modeling revealed that the cognitive style known as systemizing indirectly predicted STEM achievement and persistence by way of intrinsic motivation, learning anxiety, and self-efficacy, providing a new perspective for re-examining the gender gap in STEM.
