I'm pretty sure that there is research going on on gender differences in brain development.<BR/><BR/>2. How do you propose to do research that would truly divorce brain development from cultural context? I guess cross cultural research might help compensate for cultural influences, but that type of research is very expensive and time consuming, so it's rare. Otherwise the only way to control for cultural influences would be to raise girls as boys and visa versa, which just wouldn't pass IRB review.Breena Ronanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566521893585459242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-1167491822149961412006-12-30T09:17:00.000-06:002006-12-30T09:17:00.000-06:00you are obsessed with women, i can tellandyyou are obsessed with women, i can tell<BR/><BR/>andyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-1167440453811492022006-12-29T19:00:00.000-06:002006-12-29T19:00:00.000-06:00This is all really interesting, and I like your ta...This is all really interesting, and I like your take on it. For what it's worth, when I was a kid I totally missed out on the stereotype that boys were better than math. By some odd coincidence, there were four or five girls in my grade who were particularly good at math, so we got sort of pulled aside to be an advanced group, and this lasted for at least a couple of years. Because of that, and because I'd never heard any different, I always assumed that girls were naturally better at math! It wasn't until college that I heard most people assumed the opposite, and I thought it was nuts.Pilgrim/Heretichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588407758172717893noreply@blogger.com
