Performance averaged across attention conditions was analysed for menstrual cycle and sex effects. Women were tested at two points in the menstrual cycle (Day 2–5: low oestrogen and progesterone/Low-EP Day 18–25: high oestrogen and progesterone/High-EP). Dichotic listening was administered using consonant-vowel (CV) stimuli and tested across three attention conditions. N2 - The impact of menstrual cyclicity and sex differences on dichotic listening was studied in 25 women and 20 men (aged 20–25 years). T1 - Dichotic listening asymmetry: Sex differences and menstrual cycle effects This study also emphasises the importance of considering menstrual cycle effects when evaluating sex differences in dichotic listening.", Results support a role for ovarian hormones in shaping laterality of speech perception in women.
Dichotic listening men and women plus#
In contrast to laterality effects, baseline perceptual performance (total right plus left ear response) was similar in men and women at both phases of the menstrual cycle. Sex differences were found when dichotic listening asymmetry in men was compared to women at the Low-EP, but not the High-EP phase. At the High-EP phase women showed a greater right ear advantage (REA) compared to the Low-EP phase. Significant menstrual cycle phase effects were observed in women.
