Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls have better vocabularies than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building things?

On the average, males score higher on tests that measure mathematical reasoning, mechanical ability, and problem-solving skills. Females show superior ability in tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory. But these difference will probably not always exist. In the future, a person’s abilities may not be determined by sex. As one scientist says, “Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do.”o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz

In several recent studies, young babies have been observed and tested to discover how different abilities are developed. A scientific team headed by Jerome Kagan, a psychologist at Harvard University, is studying the thinking ability of children 111/2 months old. The test is a simple one. The baby, while seated on its mother’s lap, watches a “show” on a theater stage.o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz

In act I of the show, an orange-colored block is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly across the stage. Then it is returned to the box.o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz
o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz
This is repeated six times. Act 2 is similar, except that the orange block is smaller. Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the block, but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language. They seem to be trying to talk.o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz

It is known that bones, muscles, and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Usually, too, baby girls talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual’s ability to use words, to spell, and to remember things.o Uúïforum.liuxuehome.comÆWà 1nz
