I found Karen Helfer's paper on estrogen-related differences in competing speech understanding to be a very interesting study. It would be nice to see someone follow up on this.

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,
