2021, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Scores were the total number correct within the time limit (including correction for guessing). Because handedness can influence performance on spatial cognitive tests (e.g. Moffat and Hampson, 1996), the hand used for writing was recorded for each participant. Writing hand is the best single predictor of an individual’s overall hand use across a range of activities (Bryden, 1982).
Eye-movements during number comparison: Associations to sex and sex hormones
2020, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :One possibility is that testosterone modulates the compatibility effect in fixations only in the lower range, while a ceiling effect is reached in the higher range. This is in line with an increasing literature suggesting that the effects of sex hormones are dose-dependent (e.g. [5,19,28]) and accordingly non-linear (e.g. [36]), often resulting in different associations in men and women (e.g. [8,18]). As an example, a positive association of testosterone to spatial abilities is often only observed in women [8,18], while in men even negative associations have been observed [18,33,63,65].
