Human intelligence: sex differences

L F Jarvik. Acta Genet Med Gemellol (Roma). 1975.

An extensive review of the literatureon sex differences in human intelligence leads to the conclusion that there is stron evidence for sex differences in processing both verbal and spatial information. The few genetic studies that there are all point toward a sex-link mode of inheritance of certain spatial abilities.
