Comparisons for Sample B between females (white) and males (black) for the additional seven tests. We report the results for four conditions for biological motion and two measures for visual search. (a) simple RT task, (b) Simon effect, (c) contrast detection threshold, (d) coherent motion detection, inverted biological motion presented for (e) 200 ms and (f) 800 ms, upright biological motion presented for (g) 200 ms and (h) 800 ms, (i) orientation discrimination, (j) RT and (k) slope in a visual search task. Females were slower compared to males for the simple RT task and needed a higher number of coherent moving dots in order to perceive motion for the motion direction task. Males outperformed females in perceiving inverted biological motion, but only in the longer (800 ms) presentation condition. Error bars represent ± 2 SE. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
