• Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “While there are a number of studies in children that report female advantages in ToM, reviewed below, there are fewer studies in adults examining ToM, in general, as it is assumed that adults already have mature ToM abilities.”
• Gender differences in brain networks supporting empathy (2008, background): “Some authors reported a female advantage (e.g., Baron-Cohen et al., 1997), while others did not find evidence for differences in ToM performance between the sexes (e.g., Jarrold et al., 2000), or showed superior ToM abilities in males (Russell et al., 2007).”
