The goal of the present study was to quantify the magnitude of gender differences in object location memory tasks. A total of 123 effect sizes (d) drawn from 36 studies were included in a meta-analysis using a hierarchical approach. Object identity memory (37 effect sizes) and object location memory (86 effect sizes) tasks were analyzed separately.

- The study validated a computerized mental rotation task for fMRI research by involving 157 participants (83 females and 74 males) who completed this task along with traditional pencil-and-paper tests and reported their high school grades.
- Significant gender differences were found, with males performing better in mental rotation tasks, though results varied based on the angle of rotation in the computerized task.
- The findings confirmed the task's validity, showing strong correlations with mental rotation-related performance (like math grades) and no correlations with unrelated areas (like English and history).
The present study investigated the possible role of ceiling effects in producing laterality effects of small magnitude in dichotic emotion detection. Twenty two right-handed undergraduate students participated in the present experiment. They were required to detect the presence of a target emotion in the expressions tones of happiness, sadness, anger, and neutrality presented dichotically.
