Sex, Age, and Handedness Modulate the Neural Correlates of Active Learning

Background: Self-generation of material compared to passive learning results in mproved memory performance; this may be related to recruitment of a fronto-temporal encoding network. Using a verbal paired-associate learning fMRI task, we examined the effects of sex, age, and handedness on the neural correlates of self-generation. Methods: Data from 174 healthy English-speaking participants (78M, 56 atypically-handed; ages 19-76) were preprocessed...
