Provides an overview of what is known about the neural and hormonal bases of sex differences in behaviour, particularly differences in cognitive ability. This text argues that men and women differ not only in physical attributes and reproductive function but also in how they solve common problems.
Provides an overview of what is known about the neural and hormonal bases of sex differences in behaviour, particularly differences in cognitive ability. The author argues that men and women differ not only in physical attributes and reproductive function but also in how they solve common problems. She offers evidence that the effects of sex hormones on brain organization occur so early in life that, from the start, the environment is acting on differently wired brains in girls and boys. She presents various behavioural, neurological and endocrinological studies that shed light on the processes giving rise to the sex differences in the brain.
