AB  - Previous studies have shown that the process of attribution of intentions starts as early as
200ms post-stimulus and continues up to 650ms, having been associated with an ERP
(event-related potentials) marker called intention ERP effect. In previous investigation we
found that this effect comprises two distinct components: P200 80-250ms) and P300 (250-
400ms). The present study builds on these studies, using ERPs to investigate
electrophysiological markers of attribution of intentions based on a non-verbal social
cognition task, while testing for differences in the processes of attribution of intentions
between men and women. Forty-one university students (20 men) performed a comic-strip
task that represented an intentional action (AI), a physical causality with human characters,
or a physical causality without human characters, while their electroencephalographic
signal was recorded. There were no differences in behavioral performance between
genders. We found a bilateral posterior positive component with greater amplitude in the
AI condition, comprising the P200 and P300 components, corroborating previous studies.
No differences were observed between genders for the P200 component. Amplitude of the
P300 component did not differ between genders in the AI condition, yet it was significantly
higher in women in the two other conditions. Moreover, the ERP morphology was more
consistent across conditions in women than in men. These results suggest that women
employ greater efforts to process and integrate information under different conditions.
