Çağla: One of my graduate students, Hannah Bradshaw, has preliminary results suggesting that this very thing might go on. Across two studies, she found that pill-taking women performed worse than naturally cycling women on a difficult exam and were quicker to give up on unsolvable word puzzles. Although it is as of yet unclear whether these effects are driven by changes in the pill-taking women’s stress responses, hippocampi, or something else altogether, these results are consistent with the idea that the pill may harm the capacity to regulate learning, which could make it more difficult for these women to meet their educational and career goals.
