Spets and Slotnick (in Press) applied activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis to examine sex differences in regional brain activation during long-term memory retrieval. Based on their analyses, each of the eight studies they analyzed showed greater activity for males than females during long-term memory retrieval. These results suggest that analyses of magnetic resonance imaging data should not be collapsed by sex and expand this discussion to the challenge of meta-analysis on studies with small to modest sample sizes in favor of larger imaging studies with more rigorous thresholds.
斯佩茨和斯洛特尼克（in Press）应用激活似然估计元分析来研究长期记忆检索过程中大脑区域激活的性别差异。根据他们的分析，他们分析的八项研究中的每一项都表明，在长期记忆检索过程中，男性的大脑活动比女性更强。这些结果表明，磁共振成像数据的分析不应按性别进行合并，并将这一讨论扩展到对小样本量到中等样本量研究进行元分析的挑战，支持采用更严格的阈值进行更大规模的成像研究。
