Title: Is There a Sex Difference in Human Laterality? IV. An Exhaustive Survey of Dual-Task Interference Studies From Six Neuropsychology Journals.
Authors: Hiscock, Merrill, Perachio, Nancy, Inch, Roxanne
Source: Journal of Clinical & Experimental Neuropsychology. Apr2001, Vol. 23 Issue 2, p137-148. 12p.
Subjects: Neuropsychology, Lateral dominance, Sex differences (Biology)
Abstract: The entire contents of six neuropsychology journals (161 volumes, 612 issues) were screened to identify dual-task laterality experiments. Of 112 experiments thus identified, 45.5% provided information about sex differences. Although 23 experiments yielded at least one significant main effect or interaction involving the sex factor, only 5 outcomes represented an unambiguous sex difference in laterality. All 5 of those sex differences support the hypothesis of greater hemispheric specialization in males. The confirmatory outcomes constitute less than 10% of the informative experiments and less than 5% of the total population of experiments. These data alone do not rule out the possibility that sex differences are chance findings (Type I errors). However, when considered along with similar results from perceptual laterality data previously examined, the dual-task data fit the pattern of a small but reliable population-level sex difference in human laterality.
