Compared to males, females showed poorer spatial ability and a higher incidence of right-field superiority on the dot enumeration test, suggesting that left-hemisphere mediation of nonverbal ability may be disadvantageous.

There was a significant sex difference overall, such that males were more clearly lateralized than females on a dichotic listening task, and the hypothesis of a sex difference is at least tenable and merits further investigation.

The greater left-ear scores for nonverbal stimuli suggests that cerebral lateralization for such auditory functions may be present by age five, and male superiority on a nonverbal task was also found with nondichotic presentation of Animal Sounds.

The results of the analysis of language samples of 144 randomly selected children from the entire kindergarten class of the Ithaca, New York, school system showed that boys produced significantly more language than did the girls as well as significantly more references to “aggression” and “female” references.
