Men, on the other hand, have greater brain hemisphere separation, which explains their skills for abstract reasoning and visual-spatial intelligence.” While it is unclear how much of the difference between boys and girls is due to genetics and how much is due to socialization, experts agree that a combination of both is likely the cause. Boys and girls are often born with slight predisposition to stereotypical boy/girl activities, and that predisposition is reinforced and strengthened by life experiences. Parents should always remember that it is especially important to nurture a child’s interests and talents no matter what they are, and not to limit them to gender roles that ignore their individual strengths and capabilities.

Men tend to recall
