Dear List,
I am trying to find papers reporting sex differences in behavioral or neural measures of auditory processing in vertebrates.
I'd be grateful for pointers to any references, including review chapters.
Btw, my impression from the papers I've found so far is that females generally outperform males (e.g., refs below), and I wonder if this holds across a larger
set of studies.
Benichov, J. I., Benezra, S. E., Vallentin, D., Globerson, E., Long, M. A., & Tchernichovski, O. (2016).
The forebrain song system mediates predictive call timing in female and male zebra finches. Current
Biology, 26(3),
309-318.
Kriengwatana, B., Spierings, M. J., & ten Cate, C. (2016). Auditory discrimination learning in zebra
finches: effects of sex, early life conditions and stimulus characteristics. Animal Behaviour, 116,
99-112.
Krizman, J., Bonacina, S., & Kraus, N. (2020). Sex differences in subcortical
auditory processing only partially explain higher prevalence of language disorders in males. Hearing research, 398,
108075.
Thanks, and best wishes for the new year,
