There is strong evidence suggesting differences in brain activity between men and women in long-term memory and other cognitive functions. While sex/gender is not fully understood as a proxy for underlying biological and psychosocial factors, cognitive neuroscience within a biopsychosocial approach plays a key role in investigating these differences for a better understanding.
There is compelling evidence that men and women differ in brain activity in long-term memory and other cognitive functions. However, until the origins of sex/gender differences in brain activity, and consequently behavior, are not fully understood, the factor sex/gender should be considered as imperfect proxy of a combination of yet unknown biological and psychosocial factors underlying these sex/gender differences. The key avenue to a full understanding of sex/gender differences in brain and behavior depends largely on cognitive neuroscience investigating sex/gender differences in brain activity within a biopsychosocial approach.
