Textbooks and popular science books claim that women are superior at finding and remembering words, but is this true? “Women are better. The female advantage is consistent across time and life span, but it is also relatively small”, says Marco Hirnstein, professor at The University of Bergen, Norwa
The researchers also discovered that the leading scientists’ gender determines the advantage of females. Scientists who are female report a greater gender advantage, whereas scientists who are male report a lower gender advantage.
Hirnstein is curious about how biological, psychological, and social variables influence sex/gender disparities in cognitive skills, as well as the underlying brain mechanisms.“So far, the focus has mostly been on abilities, in which men excel. However, in recent years the focus has shifted more towards women”, says Hirnstein.The origins of these sex/gender differences; nature vs nurture – and the potential consequences of these differences have been hotly debated topics in society.
“Most intellectual skills show no or negligible differences in average performance between men and women. However, women excel in some tasks, while men excel in others on average”.
