Answer to Question 1

Females are somewhat superior to males in verbal ability. Males, on the other hand, seem somewhat superior to females in visual-spatial ability. In terms of mathematical ability, females excel in some areas and males in others. However, sex differences in cognitive skills represent group differences, not individual differences. Also, cognitive sex differences appear to reflect cultural expectations. For example, visual-spatial and math skills are stereotyped as masculine, whereas reading skills are stereotyped as feminine. This may account for some observed sex differences in cognitive functioning.

Answer to Question 2

D
