“…In this study male and female subjects did not differ in either in intrusion errors or serial length or switch (colour) in and working memory. These findings are consistent with Boyle et al (2010) that found no significant sex difference observed on the visual-spatial matching task. Coluccia and Louse (2004) indicted that gender differences are due to different strategies used to solve orientation tasks and there are an influence of biological and socio/cultural factors.…”

“…With respect to the effect of gender on reading comprehension, the analysis showed that there was no significant difference between genders, indicating that the performance in reading comprehension between males and females was similar. Previous studies found that females were significantly better than males in performing verbal tasks such as reading (Boyle, Furedy, Neumann & Westbury, 2010;Kimura, 2002); however, such a pattern was not observed in the present study. One plausible explanation for this finding was perhaps due to the topic tested which was on psychopathology, an area in which participants were unfamiliar.…”

The present study examined the effects of gender and different types of reading mediums on reading comprehension among students. Forty undergraduates were asked to read four psychopathology texts (two digital texts and two print texts). Results showed that there was no significant difference in reading comprehension between gender. However, the mean scores obtained by females were slightly higher than males. Results also showed that reading comprehension between the two groups (print versus digital) was not significantly different. Nevertheless, the mean scores revealed that participants’ performance in print reading was slightly better than digital reading, suggesting that participants may have benefited a bit more from print reading. The present findings shed further light on the effects of digital reading and print reading on reading comprehension. Keywords: Digital reading; Gender differences; Print reading; Reading comprehension

“…When men and women are compared at the population level, reviews find no evidence of gender differences in general intelligence (Halpern & Lamay, 2000;Neisser, et al, 1996). However, researchers have frequently observed gender differences in more specific components of cognitive ability (Boyle, Neumann, Furedy, & Westbury, 2010a, 2010bNeumann, Fitzgerald, Furedy, & Boyle, 2007;Neumann, Sturm, Boyle, & Furedy, 2010). The size of such differences ranges differences in spatial, verbal, and quantitative reasoning in adolescence predicted educational and vocational outcomes two decades later.…”

Gender-Role Differences in Spatial Ability: A Meta-Analytic Review

2013

Although gender-related differences in highly gender typed cognitive abilities are of considerable interest to educators and cognitive researchers alike, relatively little progress has been made in understanding the psychological processes that lead to them. Nash (1979) proposed a sex-role mediation hypothesis for such differences, with particular emphasis on spatial ability. However, changes in gender equality and gender stereotypes in the decades since merit a re-examination of whether a gender-role association still holds (Feingold, 1988). A meta-analysis of 12 studies that examined gender-role identity and mental rotation performance was conducted. These included studies from the United Kingdom, Canada, Poland, Croatia, and the United States of America. The mean effect size for masculinity was r = .30 for men and r = .23 for women; no association was found between femininity and mental rotation. This effect size was slightly larger than that found previously by Signorella and Jamison (1986), and exceeds many other factors known to influence spatial ability. The implications of sex-role mediation of gender differences are discussed and future research directions are identified.
