“…Previous research results have shown the presence of cognitive differences between men and women [ 33 ], particularly the phenomenon of hemispheric asymmetry during word processing between men and women: the left brain in men plays the major role, whereas both the left and right brains of women work simultaneously, which is exhibited through women's obvious advantages over men in speech generation [ 34 ]. In addition, women have better episodic memory and face recognition abilities than men [ 35 ]. Studies have shown that the working memory of patients with depression is impaired, which is manifested in the significant decrease in the accuracy of the working memory and the significantly prolonged reaction time of the working memory compared to the control group [ 36 – 39 ].…”

A large amount of research has been conducted on the effects of sex hormones on gender differences in patients with depression, yet research on cognitive differences between male and female patients with depression is insufficient. This study uses emotion pictures to investigate the differences of the emotional working memory ability and emotional experience in male and female patients with depression. Despite identifying that the working memory of patients with depression is impaired, our study found no significant gender differences in emotional working memory. Moreover, the research results revealed that memory effects of mood congruence are produced in both men and women, which may explain why the depression state can be maintained. Furthermore, female patients have more emotional experiences than male patients, which is particularly significant in terms of negative emotional experiences. This result provides cognitive evidence to explain why women suffer from longer terms of depression, are more susceptible to relapse, and can more easily suffer from major depressive disorder in the future.

“…Sex differences in cognitive function have been largely discussed in the literature (Agneta & Johanna, 2009; Barnes et al, 2003; De Vries, 2004; Finkel, Reynolds, Berg, & Pedersen, 2006; McCarrey, An, Kitner-Triolo, Ferrucci, & Resnick, 2016; Miller & Halpern, 2014), although it is not yet clear whether these differences generalize to the oldest old (Hassing, Wahlin, & Bäckman, 1998) and whether they exist for all or only for some cognitive abilities. Particularly, sex differences in level and rate of change of visuospatial abilities have been questioned (Mitolo et al, 2015; Palmiero, Nori, Rogolino, D’amico, & Piccardi, 2016; Voyer, Voyer, & Bryden, 1995; Waschl, Nettelbeck, Jackson, & Burns, 2016).…”

“…The female and male PP M on E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, and E6, all P<0.05. Female PP values of visual elements of Zhudong IP is twice as many as male, indicating that female may be stronger in intention cognition than male, or male is more forgetful than female [6]. On the local side, significant differences in PP values of visual elements of Zhudong IP exist between female and male.…”

With the continuous advancement of the rural revitalization strategy, the rural IP plays an important role in the development of rural tourism and local industries. The extraction of rural IP visual elements depends on the public perceptual priority of rural unique cultural resources, but in China, the Perceptual priority research of rural IP visual elements has not attracted enough attention. This paper discusses the difference of the influencing factors of the perceptual priority of rural IP visual elements, the preconditions of one-way ANOVA were verified by independent t test and Kruskal-Wallis test, and the significant difference in the degree of gender and age were obtained by one-way ANOVA .The results indicated that (1) gender is the main factor influencing the perceptual priority of rural IP visual elements, and different genders and age match the perceptual priority of rural IP visual elements in the top three; (2) females have a higher perceptual priority of rural IP visual elements than males; (3) older (over 50 years) have a higher perceptual of rural IP visual elements than younger (20-30 years). In conclusion, the public prefers natural elements to rural IP visual elements, and it is greatly influenced by gender factors, which can be applied to the practice of realizing rural IP design.
