Abstract:

<p>Sex differences in spatial ability, especially mental rotation, navigation and object-location memory are described in this essay. Biological differences in brain morphology, hormones and genes between men and women are presented as explanations for the sex differences. Another level of explanations offered are evolutionary, hence the most influential evolutionary psychological theories are summarized and evaluated. These theories are Gaulin’s and Fitzgerald’s male range theory, Silverman’s and Eals’s hunter-gatherer theory, and Ecuyer-Dab’s and Robert’s twofold selection theory. The hunter

Abstract:

The increasing use of auditory graphs and sonifications in technology is leading to a wider variety of system users, which, in turn, suggests a need for research in how differences between individual listeners affect sound interpretation. As a first step in this arena, the current study investigates the question of whether or not cognitive abilities and musical experience predict frequency and tempo discrimination in individuals. Participants in the study were 30 undergraduate students from Georgia Institute of Technology and 20 adults from the Atlanta, Georgia community. In the cognitive abil

Abstract:

A common approach for determining musical competence is to rely on information about individuals’ extent of musical training, but relying on musicianship status fails to identify musically untrained individuals with musical skill, as well as those who, despite extensive musical training, may not be as skilled. To counteract this limitation, the working aim of this thesis was to develop a new test battery (The Profile of Music Perception Skills; PROMS) that measures perceptual musical skills across multiple domains: tonal (melody, pitch), qualitative (timbre, tuning), temporal (rhythm, rhythmto

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to examine the gender differences that exist when male and female participants complete the mirror-tracing task. This task was chosen because it requires both spatial and psychomotor abilities and is unusual in the sense that it has a far higher correlation with standard spatial ability measures than do most other psychomotor tests. This research will focus on looking at gender differences in speed, accuracy, and practice effects. It will also investigate two personality traits that correlate with performance on the task: introversion and anxiety. Data will be c

Previous empirical studies have been inconsistent in the identification of cognitive differences between LD and EH children on psychoeducational assessment batteries. Furthermore, studies using multivariate procedures such as discriminant analysis have failed to verify the basic underlying assumption of homogeneity of variance-covariance matrices of the groups.

Abstract:

Decision making is the process by which we construct and initiate actions. Evidence suggests that this involves three broad categories of cognitive processes. First are cognitive abilities that construct actions. Monitoring processes register evidence in favour of action effectiveness and output subjective experiences like confidence. An action is initiated once this evidence exceeds a threshold imposed via control processes. This thesis aimed to investigate whether individual differences in decision behaviour emerged as a function of differences in the strength of cognitive abilities, monitor

Abstract:

Sex differences in cognitive ability have been documented in psychological research for over a century, and the research area has seen considerable changes in theoretical perspectives and methodology. While males and females do not differ in general intelligence, an extensive body of literature documents sex differences in more specific cognitive tasks (for reviews see Halpern, 2000; Kimura, 2000; Maccoby & Jacklin, 1974). Males on average perform at a higher level on tasks that rely on visualspatial ability, and this has been linked to later gender gaps in quantitative abilities such as mathe

The tasks involved the presentation of a 4" straight line or a 2" x 2" right angle drawn on an 8" white disc.

Brain aging is a heterogeneous phenomenon, and this thesis illustrates how the course of aging can vary within individuals over time and between individuals as a function of age, sex, and genetic variability.

Within each study, the same rigorous imaging acquisitioning protocols were used over large samples sizes of 167-183 individ

There is evidence that spatial abilities (environmental and visuo-spatial) show age-related changes with aging, which might limit older adults' safety and autonomy.

One aim was to ascertain the role of some individual characteristics in influencing those individuals' visuo-spatial factors, i.e., objective visuo-spatial abilities and self-reported visuo-spatial inclinations, which are known to support you
