Geschlechtseffekte bei Intelligenz- und Gedächtnisleistungen
Abstract
Diese Studie untersucht die Zusammenhänge von Intelligenz- und Gedächtnisleistungen in der Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV und der Wechsler Memory Scale-IV unter Berücksichtigung des Geschlechts (N = 137 Gesunde, 63 w/74 m). Ein Vorteil der weiblichen Testpersonen im verbalen episodischen Gedächtnis sowie in einzelnen Aufgaben zur Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit konnte beobachtet werden. Die männlichen Testpersonen schnitten in den Untertests Allgemeines Wissen und Visuelle Puzzles besser ab. Wie gut Gedächtnisleistungen Intelligenzleistungen erklären beziehungsweise vorhersagen, ist aufgrund unserer Ergebnisse nicht nur abhängig von den Aufgaben, sondern auch vom Geschlecht.
The study examines relationships between intelligence and memory performances, based on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV and the Wechsler Memory Scale-IV, considering effects of gender (N = 137 healthy persons; 63 f/74 m). An advantage of women in verbal episodic memory as well as in a processing speed could be observed. Men performed better in the visual puzzles subtest and the information task. The influence of memory performance on intelligence performance depends on task specifics as well as on gender.
