Gender Differences in
Numerical and Letter Arrays
Introduction
After Sperling (1960) presented visual displays that contained three rows of four letters for fifty milliseconds, he recorded that his subjects could recall four to five letters, but each subject had stated that they saw more letters. ...
Question one in this experiment inquires whether there is a gender difference in the number of numerical items from a Sperling array when the signal tone occurs one second after an array presentation. The second question probes whether or not there is an overall gender difference in the number of letters recalled from a Sperling array. These two questions may have come forth from Sperlings findings because it was not indicated whether his subjects were male or female and a gender difference was not recognized. ... To conclude there was no gender difference in the number of numerical items recalled from a Sperling array when the signal tone occurred one second after an array presentation. ... To conclude, overall there is no gender difference in the number of letters recalled from a Sperling array. ...

Question One
Is there a gender difference in the number of numerical items recalled from a Sperling array when the signal tone occurs one second after an array presentation? ... There is no gender difference in the number of numerical items recalled from a Sperling array when the signal tone occurs one second after an array presentation.
