The National: The learning brain “Women’s brains are definitely different from men’s brains,” said Apostolos. “What we have found is that women, in many different tasks, process information about five times faster than men, and use much less of their brain to do identical cognitive performance.”

T-tests analyzed speed differences between genders, and regression analysis tested the percent differences between men and women across distance. Speeds were different, with the average difference being 12.4% faster for men. These results may be confounded by the reduced number of women in longer distance events.

Females tend to perform better than males in verbal-based episodic memory tasks, as opposed to spatial-based memory tasks [10]. Females generally access their memories faster than males [11], date them more precisely [12], and use more emotional terms when describing memories [13].

The question of whether sex differences have been decreasing over time depends on which data are examined. In a meta-analysis, Hyde, Fennema, and Lamon (1990) concluded that sex differences in some mathematical skills were decreasing. Average SAT-Mathematics scores of entering college classes, 1967–2004, by sex.

It’s already known that males’ upper bodies, on average, have 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than females’.

It is official. Women have better memories than men. In a study published in the journal Menopause, women aged 45-55 years performed better in all memory measures, despite experiencing a decline around the menopause.

Worldwide, women appear to be statistically significantly more honest than men. Standard error was less than 1% for both cases.

No. The idea of different learning styles has been discredited by scientific evidence. Boys and girls learn using similar mental and brain processes. The notion that boys and girls learn differently has become very popular with teachers and parents, but is not supported by actual scientific studies of learning.

In boys’ brains, a greater part of the cerebral cortex is dedicated to spatial and mechanical functioning. So boys tend to learn better with movement and pictures rather than just words, Gurian says. Sax says there are no differences between boys and girls in terms of what they can learn.

There are significant cognitive learning differences between genders. Women tend to have a clearer understanding of the game content and objectives in the digital game-based learning process. Female learners perform better when they need to apply the knowledge learned during the process to complete puzzles and quests.

From elementary school through college, girls are more disciplined about their schoolwork than boys; they study harder and get better grades. Girls consistently outperform boys academically. And yet, men nonetheless hold a staggering 95 percent of the top positions in the largest public companies.

After reviewing over 100 studies, researchers concluded that even in infancy, girls are better at figuring out people’s emotions based on their facial expressions. Another study found that baby girls would rather look at faces than mobiles, while the opposite was true for boys.

Among men, 58% say boys are easier to raise, while 24% say girls. That 34-percentage-point gap compares with a smaller 21-point gap among women, who also believe boys are easier to raise than girls, but by 50% to 29%.

Compared to girls, boys had 27 percent higher odds of preterm birth between 20 and 24 weeks’ gestation; 24 percent greater risk for birth between 30 and 33 weeks; and 17 percent higher odds for delivery at 34 to 36 weeks, the study found.

One study, published in 2001 in the journal Human Fetal and Neonatal Movement Patterns, found that boys may move around more in the womb than girls. The average number of leg movements was much higher in the boys compared to the girls at 20, 34 and 37 weeks, that study found.
