Classification of regions of sex x time interaction from each study (WG = Word Generate, W/NW R = Word/Nonword Read) into four categories of observation, along with the hypotheses supported by each category

Category WGa W/NW R Hypotheses Supported
M>F in the left 4 3 M more L-lateralized and/or F more R-lateralized
F>M in the right 0 3 F more R-lateralized and/or M more L-lateralized
M>F in the right 12 2 M more R-lateralized and/or F more L-lateralized
F>M in the left 0 5 F more L-lateralized and/or M more R-lateralized

The Word Generate task set generated 17 regions of sex difference, but one of these regions was located on the midline and is therefore not included in the categorization.
