Description
Gender differences are a hot topic in education, but most boy-girl differences are much smaller than our current Mars/Venus perceptions. In this lecture, Dr. Eliot will explain what’s known about sex differences in children’s brains as well as review the evidence for nature (genes & hormones) versus nurture (socialization, parents, peers, culture) in producing them.
