When it comes to the discussion of the difference in the cognitive abilities of men and women in the field of math and science many things come to mind, but when it all comes down to it i can truely see both sides of the arguement. Here is why, it has been shown though many studies show that men have more of a natural abalitiy when it comes to math reasoning. Many people believe that men are extremely overrepresented at the highest level in math and science careers.
It all begins early on in preschool as well as elementary school, men and women prove to provide equal test scores all the way through college. While on another note, many scholars tend to believe that society tends to "dumb" women down to fit gender roles as early on as 3rd grade. Men and women have proven in studies across all species that we communicate differently both verbally and non verbally. Women have been shown to be able to handle verbal tasks better, as well as they show better memory, while mastering verbal fluency and articulation.
Q1: What area of study will the next female breakthrough be in math and science?
Q2: Why, if at all? Do men have the upper hand in the math field more than the science field?
