“…There is considerable evidence indicating that men usually perform with less variable error (VE) and absolute error (AE) than women (e.g., Wrisberg, et a/., 1979;Payne, 1988;Payne & Michael, 1990;Wdiams, Katene, & Fleming, 2001). Interpretations of these findings include ddferences in participation rates in sports with anticipatory demands (Petrakis, 19851, effects of sociocultural variables (Singer, 19801, differences in motoric factors (Wrisberg, et al, 1979), differences in spatiotemporal slull (Schkf & Oldak, 19901, and the use of a more conservative approach to responding by women (Schiff & Oldak, 1990;Wdhams, Katene, & Fleming, 20011. However, there is also work that does not support sex differences (e.g., Stadds, 1972;Wrisberg & Mead, 1983;Dunham & Reeve, 1990;W~Uiams, Jasiewicz, & Simmons, 2001). Given that equivocal results have emerged from studies involving a wide range of movement responses, the present investigation specifically concerned the question of whether differeAt types of movement response influence sex differences in coincidence timing.…”
