Abstract
In this study researchers investigate the relationship between some specific hormones (Testosterone-Thyroid-Stimulating, Hormone-Prolactin-Thyroxine), cognitive abilities and mathematical performance. The results of this study offer a new way to conceptualize the relationship between various hormones and cognition literature for university students. According to the forty tests (twenty for males and twenty for females) performed in this survey six significant differences were found between low and high hormone groups, cognitive abilities and mathematical performance. As can be inferred from the results of this study, hormones in question have more effects on female students than male ones. Five significant differences found for female students, in contrast just one significant difference were found for male students concern to their cognitive abilities and mathematical performance.
