Gender differences on cognitive tests tend to be small, with the exception of processing speed, which shows a decided female advantage across the lifespan.
“Generally speaking, gender differences on cognitive tests tend to be small, with the exception of processing speed, which shows a decided female advantage across the lifespan (Kaufman et al. 2016;Keith et al. 2011;Lichtenberger and Kaufman 2013).”

On the WISC-V, researchers have observed no meaningful gender differences on the Full Scale IQ and only trivial gender differences on most indexes, except on the Processing Speed Index.

At the school-age level, males outperform females in visual processing.
“At the school-age level, the most consistent findings on specific abilities are as follows: (1) males outperform females in visual processing (Kaufman and Kaufman 2004;Keith et al. 2011;Jirout and Newcombe 2015;Palejwala and Fine 2014);”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
