Gender Differences on Dichotic Listening
Abstract
??Dichotic listening experiments show a right-ear advantage (REA), reflecting a left-hemisphere (LH) dominance. 5 males and 5 females of right-handed participants were involved in this experiment in order to test gender differences on dichotic listening. The stimuli were 15 combinations of the six CVs with additional 15 combinations by mirroring each pair, making a total of 30 sound pairs. The mean REA value for males was 61.3% while the value for females was 58.7%. This higher percentage of correctness of male participants over females suggests that males have a higher REA. It supports our hypothesis as well as previous findings that men have a larger REA than females when processing speech sounds. Moreover, it provides evidence for more lateralization in males.
Introduction
According to a news report from the Scientific American, a recent study has revealed that women have superior language skills than men. From this report, one
