Differences in Male and Female Cognitive Abilities

Differences in Male and Female Cognitive Abilities Cognitive differences between men and women have received widespread attention for years. Upadhayay and Guragain (2014) focus on cognitive abilities that comprise diverse psychological attributes like attention, perception, working, short, and long-term memory, special and visual processing, language, and executive capabilities, among others. Although the study by Angraini et al. (2019) claims that the human brain is neither male nor female but intersex in nature since it is a variable organ, the authors agree that notable mental differences exist between the two genders. For instance, Jдncke (2018) indicate that women fare better in specific cognitive areas than their male counterparts. The author underscores subtle differences in the brains of the two genders to explain these variations. She indicates that these differences arise from the distinctive hormonal and genetic uniqueness between the genders. As a result, it leads to the established situation where females demonstrate that they outmatch their male counterparts in perceptual speed, verbal fluency, fine motor capabilities, and accuracy. Conversely, the males dominate in the working memory, spatial, and mathematic fronts. Angraini et al. (2019) explain this phenomenon by indicating that the cortices in women’s brains...
