Sex differences in verbal working memory performance emerge at very high loads of common neuroimaging tasks.

Brain and cognition - 1 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

Working memory (WM) supports a broad range of intelligent cognition and has been the subject of rich cognitive and neural characterization. However, the highest ranges of WM have not been fully characterized, especially for verbal information. Tasks developed to test multiple levels of WM demand (load) currently predominate brain-based WM research. These tasks are typically used at loads that allow most healthy...
