Sex differences in semantic language processing: a functional MRI study.
Predictions based on two models of sex differences in cerebral organization of language were compared by examining fMRI patterns of 10 females and 9 males during a semantic processing task. Both groups displayed activation of left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), left superior temporal gyrus (STG), and cingulate. Females, but not males, showed bilateral IFG and STG activation. Further analyses rev...
متن کاملSex differences in neural processing of language among children.
Why females generally perform better on language tasks than males is unknown. Sex differences were here identified in children (ages 9-15) across two linguistic tasks for words presented in two modalities. Bilateral activation in the inferior frontal and superior temporal gyri and activation in the left fusiform gyrus of girls was greater than in boys. Activation in the left inferior frontal an...
متن کاملInvestigations of Interhemispheric Processing: Methodological Considerations
This article is a review and critique of a number of methodological issues pertaining to investigations of information exchange and coordination between the cerebral hemispheres. The methods required to address issues of interhemispheric interaction are demonstrated to be distinct from those typically used in studies of lateralization of function. Methodology in this area is examined in referen...
متن کاملMeasuring Individual Differences in Decision Biases: Methodological Considerations
Individual differences in people's susceptibility to heuristics and biases (HB) are often measured by multiple-bias questionnaires consisting of one or a few items for each bias. This research approach relies on the assumptions that (1) different versions of a decision bias task measure are interchangeable as they measure the same cognitive failure; and (2) that some combination of these tasks ...
متن کاملTime-resolved sex differences in language lateralization.
Many clinical, behavioural and brain imaging studies have suggested that language functions are less asymmetrical in women than in men. Sommer and colleagues challenge this view in a recent review on the outcome of 24 functional brain imaging studies (PET, functional MRI or functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound) that looked at possible sex differences in language lateralization. A vote cou...
