Sex Effects on Spatial Learning but not on Spatial Memory Retrieval in Healthy Young Adults.

CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that in healthy young adults, males show faster spatial learning in a virtual environment, as compared to females. Interestingly, we found no significant sex differences during spatial memory retrieval. Our study raises the question, whether men and women use different learning strategies, which nevertheless result in equal performances of spatial memory retrieval.
