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,
