EVIDENCE: NOT SO DIFFERENT IN THE END

EVIDENCE DEVELOPED BY:

YARA ELENIS DIAZ
According to the following work, it should be noted
that the differences in mental abilities linked to sex
are also modular, and it is not about defending
general or overall mental superiority of one sex over
another, as has sometimes been tried through IQ or
similar measures.
But neither can we forget, as expressed by Roberto
Colom, that there are not two equal brains.
Colon me too, when he says, that the variability in
human brains is a problem that complicates studies
in neuroscience, since to compare you have to look
for a mean, a reference, and this is very difficult to
establish. Even the brains of univitelline twins are
not identical.
So do I, like Colon, I believe that each individual is a
woman or a man is unique.
 COGNITIVE
Roberto Colom, teacher of Psychology at the
Autonomous University of Madrid. "In general, there is no
difference in the average between the sexes in what is
the hard core of the intellectual capacity, but a smaller
difference can be found in some type of specific capacity"
Research in cognitive sciences, particularly
neuropsychology, has confirmed this.
The differences comprise a broad spectrum, from reflex
acts to more complex behaviors.
The action of sex hormones forms neural networks and
different biochemical processes in the brains of men and
women, since the first months of intrauterine life. But
also, the experiences and learning in the sociocultural
contexts shapes and organizes the brain of each person
originating capacities and own and differential behaviors.
 PERSONALITY
Colom has reviewed, along with a
colleague, almost everything that has been
done in the world regarding personality
traits in men and women and found a single
difference, in general: "Boys have a
tendency to a greater instrumentality and
girls to greater expressiveness, "he
summarizes. In other words, men tend
more to put their personality, their way of
being, in the service of an objective, while
women give more value to the expression
of emotions, to communication, for their
own value rather than to serve for a goal.
 COEFICIENTE INTELECTUAL (CI)
Science clearly shows that there is no difference in general
intelligence between men and women ", agrees the American
expert Richard Haier who warns about how to interpret the
inequalities detected in specific capacities.

The main differences that mark the sex in the intellectual

function seem to reside in the capacity models and not in the
global level of intelligence (the intellectual coefficient, CI).
We are all aware that people have different intellectual
abilities: some handle words very well, others are skilled in the
use of objects -constructing or repairing things, for example: In
the same way, two individuals can have the same global
intelligence but own different models of capacity.
Neither do I believe that the intellectual capacities of each
individual have to do with the gender to which they belong.
 EMOTIONS
The studies carried out by Dr. Gottman allowed to
conclude that, in spite of finding differences in the
way of expressing the emotions, men and women
felt in a very similar way, too Professor Baron-
Cohen, in studies carried out from the University
from Cambridge, in England, discovered that the
male and female brain is structured differently.

Gottman believe too, that men and women feel

very similar.
With the ability to reason, to dream, to learn, to
think, to feel and perceive, even if we do it
differently, the concept is the same.
 BEHAVIOR
Eliot points too, out that there is no doubt
that, whatever the brain, differences in
behavior and school performance between
men and women are strongly determined
by socialization.

Eliot points out that while testosterone is

linked to aggression, it does not offer a
universal explanation for male behavior.

Too he says, that everyone, regardless of

their sex, can be competitive or aggressive,
but men and women can have different
ways of expressing these traits based on
social norms. He says.
SCIENCE It is well known that there are more men than women in some
scientific areas, it is true in physics, engineering and
mathematics, "recalls Haier." Reason is the subject of
controversy. There are data that suggest that there are more
men at the peak of mathematical ability, of spatial
representation.
These are important skills for these specialties. At no time,
Haier either, means that women can not do it, and there are
women who are just as good, but there seem to be fewer
women. "
Donald Pfaff too, from the Rockefeller University (USA),
agreed at the Heidelberg conference: "In cultures where there
is practically gender equality there are no differences in the
mean, only detected in the upper end, in people of great
mathematical ability ". Pfaff points out that the experiments
indicate that in the development of these abilities, genes,
hormones and the environment influence, especially in the
neonatal period and in puberty.
 BRAIN
Neuroscience specialist Gastón Morales said that in both
the female and male gender, there are the same number
of neurons, but in women they are much closer together
and interconnected. The average weight of a human brain
is 1350 gr and it is the man who has it bigger, but this is
due to the amount of water and fat it contains. On the
contrary to what one thinks, the size is not equal to
intelligence:
"Science has studied much the proportion between weight
and intelligence, a clear example that this ratio is not a
reason for intellectuality is that, for example, the brain of
the renowned physicist Albert Einstein, for example,
weighed only 1230 grams. Size impacts intelligence very
little but there are other mechanisms that do make a
difference, "Morales said.
