"The Influence of Sex and Gender on Cognition"
A new study explores how sex and gender influence cognitive abilities, finding that spatial cognition is more related to biological factors such as sex and hormones, while verbal cognition is more influenced by sociocultural factors like gender identity. The research emphasizes the importance of considering both sex-based and gender-based factors in understanding cognitive differences and advocates for more nuanced methodologies that incorporate diverse populations to accurately depict these nuances.
