Sex differences in adults' spatial and verbal memory span.
Spatial span (Corsi's block-tapping test) and verbal span (Wechsler Digits Forward test) were measured in 300 medical students (150 males and 150 females). Significant differences pointing to a better performance of males were found on both spatial span (p less than 0.001) and verbal span (p less than 0.05).
