Hypothesis

To find out the influence of gender on the cognitive abilities of an individual

The identified independent variables in the information provide are the age of the participants, gender and the user identification numbers and class numbers. This influences the dependent variables such as the audio and visual results provided in terms of the scores.

Age falls as a major independent variable in the study whereas the time in terms of response to the questions in the study is also a significant variable. Majority of the individuals in the study were of the age 19years and had an average score in the study. The average score in the study is 512.171 points. In addition, this is varied in terms of the ages of individuals whereby a substantial number of the respondents to the study were of the age of 19years.

The average score for the audio tests among the participants was at 15. The highest scores in terms of time were from a male respondent aged at 18 years. This is an express indication that majority of individuals who responded in the study from the age of 18 well into 30 years old, had good listening skills, as well as the ability to respond to the questions provided in the study. In addition, age plays a significant factor from the study because of the cognitive agility to remember the audio information given to them. Hence, age plays a significant role in remembering issues in terms of the short-term events or occurrences (Sattler, 1992).

The average age of individuals in the study was 31 years old. The genders of the participants are numerically equal as the women or female participants constitute of 20 members whereas their male counterparts constitute of 21 participants. This was paramount in ensuring gender parity, as the gender of the participants is a variable in that the abilities of women and men may vary because of their varied capabilities in executing specific cognitive tasks (Sattler, 1992).

Classroom identification is also a significant factor in the study in that it indicates the abilities of individuals in the various classes. The user identification number is an independent variable in that it describes the individual capability in terms of cognitive ability to respond to the questions in the study. The information provided is based on individual capabilities, which is independent of each other. This is further expressed in the various classifications such as the gender of participants and the ages of the participants. The gender is dependent variable in that it relies on the scores of individuals for classification (Sattler, 1992).

The information provided indicates that the major issues present are the dominance of a single class with relatively high performance in terms of the scores of the participants (Sattler, 1992). Additionally, the age of individuals is also a significant factor in achievement of high scores in the study. Individuals indicate that either cognitive skill in terms of comprehension of the numbers presented visually or from an audio platform are greatly determined by the ages of individuals. It is also paramount to perform additional studies based on gender and such relations to the cognitive abilities of the respondents in the case provided.

However, individual capabilities are isolated and significant factors in that individuals at lower ages are able to respond with ease to the tasks provided to them (Sattler, 1992). In addition, the period of conduct f the study is irrelevant in the study since time does not relate to the cognitive abilities of the participants of the study. Hence it is merely an independent variable in the study that seeks to indicate the period of conduct of the study. This could have influences the outcomes through the communication of the possible questions to be asked among the participants.
