Why Don't Girls Think Like Boys?
Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls
have better vocabularies than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building
things? If your answer to each of those questions is
according to an article in Current Science. There are exceptions, but here are
the facts.

On the average, males score higher on tests that measure mathematical
reasoning, mechanical ability, and problem-solving skills. Females show
superior ability in tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory. But these
differences will probably not always exist. In the future, a person's abilities may
not be determined by sex. As one scientist says,
person to be or do.

In several recent studies, young babies have been observed and tested to
discover how different abilities are developed. A scientific team headed by
Jerome Kagan, a psychologist at Harvard University, is studying the thinking
ability of children 11 1/2 months old. The test is a simple one. The baby, while
seated on its mother's lap, watches a

In act 1 of the show, an orange-colored block is lifted from a blue box and
moved slowly across the stage. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated
six times. Act 2 is similar, except that the orange block is smaller. Baby boys do
not seem to notice the difference in the size of the block, but girls immediately
become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language. They seem
to be trying to talk.

It is known that bones, muscles, and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Usually,
too, baby girls talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think there is a
physical reason for this. They believe that nerves in the left side of the brain
develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is this side of the brain that strongly
influences an individual's ability to use words, to spell, and to remember things.

By the time they start to school, therefore, little girls have an advantage that
boys do not have. Girls are physically more ready to remember facts, to spell,
and to read. These, of course, are skills that are important in elementary school.

But what have the boys been doing in the years before starting school? They
have been developing something called aggression. An aggressive person has
courage and energy. He feels strong and independent. He is often the first one
to start a fight.

What produces aggression in little boys? It has long been assumed that
aggression is caused by male hormones. Scientists today believe that male
hormones are only part of the explanation, however. They say aggressiveness
in boys is also caused by mothers.

A team of psychologists discovered this by placing mothers and their
one-year-old babies in a room filled with toys. The room had a wall through
which the scientists could observe what happened without being seen. They
took notes on everything the mothers and babies did. Here is a sample of those
notes, taken during the observation of a baby boy and his mother:
against mother. Looks up at her. She speaks to him. She turns him around. He
walks away, picks up toy cat. Goes to mother, drops cat, and leans against her.
Looks up at her. She turns him around.

From such observations and from conversations with mothers, the scientists
learned something about the treatment of baby boys and baby girls. While the
mother keeps her daughter close to her, she trains her son to move away from
her, to develop independence.

Consequently, it is easy to understand why little girls often perform school tasks
better than boys, especially if the task requires sitting still, obeying commands,
and accepting the teacher's ideas. A girl may pass easily through the first few
grades. While boys of her age bring home low marks, the girl may easily get
good grades. Girls seem to have
girls become great scientists? Why is the most important thinking in adult
society done by men?

According to scientists, the answer is aggression. Because boys are aggressive,
they refuse to accept other people's solutions; they insist upon solving problems
for themselves. Thus, while little girls are getting high marks in school for
remembering what the teacher has told them, little boys are learning to think in
more independent ways.
