Study Of Language Use In Children Suggests Sex Influences How Brain Processes Words

Gender and thinking skills could be linked, it seems. Keep an eye on this, it could be really important.

This study shows that differences between males and females may be an important factor in these cognitive processes,” said the lead author, Michael Ullman, PhD, professor of neuroscience, psychology, neurology and linguistics. He added that since the brain systems tested in this study are responsible for more than just language use, the study supports the notion that “men and women may tend to process various skills differently from one another.” One potential underlying reason, suggested by other research, is that the hormone estrogen, found primarily in females, affects brain processing

As long as we don't start using differences as a method of negatively evaluating one another on the basis of gender. Big ask I know but important.
Oh, and while we're on that, and men do multi-task, they just prefer to do it with a different set of tasks than women.
