Las demandas más generales de la tarea (por ejemplo, si hay que integrar información o simplemente seleccionarla) se mantienen activas de forma sostenida y abstracta durante casi todo el proceso. En cambio, los detalles más concretos, como si el estímulo es un animal, aparecen de forma transitoria.

🧩 Seguir una instrucción como «si ves un perro dentro de un círculo verde, pulsa el botón de la derecha» es una tarea cognitivamente exigente.
El cerebro debe descomponer la frase, identificar información importante y prepararse para actuar incluso antes de que aparezca el estímulo.

More general task demands (for example, whether information needs to be integrated or simply selected) are maintained in a sustained and abstract manner throughout most of the process.
➡️In contrast, more specific details, such as whether the stimulus is an animal, appear only transiently.

🧩 The Cognitive Puzzle
Following an instruction like "if you see a dog in a green circle, press the right button" is harder than it looks. The brain must break down the sentence, identify relevant info and prepare to act before the stimulus even appears.

The study shows that even though female sexuality is more normalized today, persistent biases still reproduce gender hierarchies—even when evaluating a private behavior.

Each participant evaluated one character on variables such as sexual satisfaction, charisma, reliability, achievement, or social skills. They also assessed participants’ adherence to the sexual double standard and social dominance orientation.

Each participant evaluated one character on variables such as sexual satisfaction, charisma, reliability, achievement, or social skills. They also assessed participants’ adherence to the sexual double standard and social dominance orientation.
To explore this, researchers from the CIMCYC presented 292 Spanish cisgender adults (146 men and 146 women) with two fictional characters: Emilio and Elena, both described as people who masturbate.

Masturbation is common and natural, but not everyone is evaluated the same way when they do it. Social and gender norms influence how we view male and female sexuality—even in such private contexts.

El estudio muestra que, aunque la sexualidad femenina esté más normalizada, persisten sesgos que reproducen jerarquías de género incluso al evaluar una conducta privada.

La masturbación es común y natural, pero no todas las personas son evaluadas igual cuando la practican. Las normas sociales y de género influyen en cómo vemos la sexualidad masculina y femenina… incluso en contextos tan privados.
