This study aims to investigate the gender differences in spatial navigation using the tasks of 2-D matrix navigation and recognition of real driving scene. The results can be summarized as followings. First, female subjects responded faster in 2-D matrix navigation task than male subjects when landmark instructions were provided. Second, in recognition task, male subjects recognized the key ele...

We investigate tone recognition in Vietnamese across gender and dialects. In addition to well-known parameters such as single fundamental frequency (F0) values and energy features, we explore the impact of harmonicity on recognition accuracy, as well as that of the PaIntE parameters, which quantify the shape of the F0 contour over complete syllables instead of providing more local single values...

Gender is an important and most diffrentiative characteristic of a speech. Gender information can also be used to improve the performance of speech and speaker recognition systems. Automatic gender classification is a technique that aims to determine the sex of the speaker through speech signal analysis. However with the increase in biometric security application, practical application of gende...

Erratum In the publication of this article [1] it was brought to our attention that the last sentence on page 12 incorrectly states: “Legal gender recognition, in the context of this study, is a precondition for access to genderconfirming health care”. The correct sentence should read: “Gender-confirming health care, in the context of this study, is a precondition for access to legal gender rec...

This research examined how the typicality of gender cues in politicians’ faces related to their electoral success. Previous research has shown that faces with subtle gender-atypical cues elicit cognitive competition between male and female categories, which perceivers resolve during face perception. To assess whether this competition adversely impacted politicians’ electoral success, participan...

Gender differences favoring women have been found in face recognition, and in addition to this, it has been shown that women remember more female than male faces. This own-gender effect may be a result of women directing more attention towards female faces, resulting in a better memory. The aim of this study was to assess the role of attention for gender differences in face recognition and wome...

When human subjects view photographs of faces, their judgments of identity, gender, emotion, age, and attractiveness depend more on one side of the face than the other. We report an experiment testing whether allocentric kin recognition (the ability to judge the degree of kinship between individuals other than the observer) is also lateralized. One hundred and twenty-four observers judged wheth...
