Books like Sex and cognition by Doreen Kimura

Name: Sex and cognition
Author: Doreen Kimura

In this fact-driven book, Doreen Kimura provides an intelligible overview of what is known about the neural and hormonal bases of sex differences in behavior, particularly differences in cognitive ability. Kimura argues that women and men differ not only in physical attributes and reproductive function, but also in how they solve common problems. She offers evidence that the effects of sex hormones on brain organization occur so early in life that, from the start, the environment is acting on differently wired brains in girls and boys. She presents various behavioral, neurological, and endocrinological studies that shed light on the processes giving rise to these sex differences in the brain.

📘 Fleeting Memories

by Veronika Coltheart

The investigation of what people understand and remember from rapidly presented sequences of visual stimuli began in the late 1960s.
