Men typically outperform women on tasks assessing visuospatial and arithmetic processing, whereas women typically outperform men on tasks involving reasoning and verbal abilities.
“gender differences in cognitive functioning have long been documented, with men typically outperforming women on tasks assessing visuospatial and arithmetric processing, whereas women typically outperform men on tasks involving reasoning and verbal abilities”
From Cohort differences in cognitive aging and terminal decline in the Seattle Longitudinal Study. (2011) · cites this paper as Meinz & Salthouse, 1998
The Gender Effects section reports a male advantage on spatial tasks, and the Discussion describes a male advantage on quantitative measures and reports prior findings of a female advantage in verbal abilities. But this study found that males outperformed females on reasoning tasks, while its differences in verbal fluency and knowledge were not significant. No page numbers are available in our copy.

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.
