Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender differences in Visual Selective Attention, Working Memory, Anticipation Time, Auditory Reaction Time and Visual-Motor Coordination performance existed. Forty eight students at Assiut university (21 males and 27 females; between 19.0 and 23.58 years old) participated in this study. Results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between males and females in Visual Selective.
Highlights
Sex differences in human cognitive functioning are a controversial issue

Gur et al (2000) found gender differences in brain activation patterns in response to a judgment of line orientation task, with males showing right–lateralized increased in activation compared to female, whereas study cited by Speck et al (2000) reveled greater activation in the left hemisphere in female, while males showed either bilateral activation
Summary
A number of studies have investigated differences between females and males in Visual Selective Attention, Working Memory, Anticipation Time, Auditory Reaction Time and VisualMotor Coordination. Some researchers have repeatedly reported gender differences in cognitive abilities and brain organization, men's higher scores on spatial task. It has been reported that males tend to have larger brain volume, while the gray-to- white ratio tends to be grater in females (Allen et al, 2003; Gur et al, 2002; Shikhman, 2007). Gur et al (2000) found gender differences in brain activation patterns in response to a judgment of line orientation task, with males showing right–lateralized increased in activation compared to female, whereas study cited by Speck et al (2000) reveled greater activation in the left hemisphere in female, while males showed either bilateral activation. On the other hand Voyer et al (2007) indicted that
