studiot Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I suggest that a fruitful line of enquiry into the reported differences between gender differentiated performance in doing maths and reading (and perhaps even other activities) is to look at the questions Why do people read? Why do people do maths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The females utilize different neural pathways in deducing answers to questions and in problem solving methodologies. They also use a larger and less concentrated portion of the brain. Their thinking tends to be a bit more tangential and abstract and less linear. You state these as absolutes where they are really just trends; women may tend to do these things to a larger extent than males (if they are true) but not all women will, while some proportion of men will also do them to some extent.

swansont Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Unless they don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_multitasking#Sex_differences "any sex differences tend to find that the differences are small and inconsistent" seems to be a recurring theme.

BlueVictor15 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The anxiety is not particularly a result of society problems. I do think that there is some noise. The problem is likely wrong friendships and unbiblical item use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
