False

The statement in the question is a generalization that does not accurately reflect the complexities of cognitive abilities and gender differences. Research on cognitive abilities and gender differences has shown that there are some differences in specific tasks, but these differences are not as clear-cut or universally applicable as the statement suggests.

• This option would imply that there is a consistent and significant difference between males and females in these specific cognitive tasks. However, while some studies have found differences in certain cognitive abilities between genders, these findings are often influenced by a variety of factors, including cultural, educational, and social influences, rather than being purely biological.

• This option recognizes that cognitive abilities are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. While there may be some trends observed in research, they do not apply universally to all individuals. Additionally, the differences in cognitive abilities between genders are often small and can be overshadowed by individual differences within each gender. Therefore, it is not accurate to make broad generalizations about cognitive abilities based solely on gender.
