Abstract
Background: Gender differences in visual memory and perception and cognitive test performance have been significantly influenced by factors like sex
 Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate the gender differences in patterns of cognitive test performance and visual perception in healthy elderly individuals.
 Methods: Cognitive functions and visual perception was analyzed using clock drawing test and picture identification test in 20 elderly men and women (10 each) and their emotional status was assessed using depression scale
 Results: The results revealed that females had a better visual memory and depth perception compared to men and the value was statistically significant at p<0.05. Females performed better than men on tests of Picture identification and were better in phonemic verbal skills compared to male men and the value was statistically significant at p<0.05
 Conclusion: The present study concluded an innovative finding that women were better in their performance related to visual depth perception and cognitive functions.
Highlights
Test visual perception - clock drawing test were performed by asking the participant to draw it in paper
Tests on visual depth perception revealed that females scored better than males and the value was statistically significant. (p
The present study revealed that there were significant differences in visual depth perception and cognitive functions among genders
Summary
Cognitive abilities are mental abilities like sustained attention, responses inhibition, speed of information processing, working memory, and pattern recognition that help a person use in his everyday life.[1]. There are scanty reports on the evaluation of visual perception and cognitive functions among genders in elderly subjects[4]. The reactivated sensory–motor dimensions may influence a perceptual task, and the activation of the sensory–motor dimension during memory processing may influence the performance on a perceptual task in the same sensory–motor dimension[10],[6],[6] Our team has extensive knowledge and research experience that has translate into high quality publications[11,12,13,14,15][16,17,18,19,20]. The present study planned to study the evaluation of cognitive screening test among genders in elderly subjects
