Serial Comparison Processes and Sex Differences in Clerical Speed.

Majeres, Raymond L.

Intelligence, v12 n2 p149-65 Apr-Jun 1988

Three experiments were conducted with 91 male and 91 female university students to assess sex differences in performance on speeded matching tests and theory on same-different judgments. Results are interpreted via the dual-process hypothesis of same-difference judgments with sex differences explained in terms of serial comparison processes rather than encoding/recognition processes.
