Abstract

The area of sex differences is one of the most controversial subjects in social sciences, especially when significant differences are detected in the field of intelligence. In this chapter, we offer results from several studies conducted at specific and general levels of intelligence using a variety of different cognitive measures. Finally, we present results obtained from our SLATINT Project.
