Boys And Girls Are Different
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008Boys And Girls Brains Are Different: Gender Differences In Language Appear Biological
Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior language abilities than boys, until now no one has clearly provided a biological basis that may account for their differences.
For the first time — and in unambiguous findings — researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Haifa show both that areas of the brain associated with language work harder in girls than in boys during language tasks, and that boys and girls rely on different parts of the brain when performing these tasks.
See, girls aren’t really better at language, they just work harder.
