Your text describes several problems with brain lateralization explanations for gender differences in cognitive abilities. Which of the following was not listed as one of those problems?
a. Many of the female participants show fairly complete lateralization.
b. Much of the research uses large samples.
c. Many studies show gender similarities in lateralization.
d. Different experiences could influence male and female brain organization, rather than brain differences causing differences in ability.
Question 2
Your textbook discusses a typical theory about brain lateralization. According to this discussion, gender differences in cognitive performance can be traced to the observation that
a. males process most information using the left hemisphere, whereas females primarily use the right hemisphere.
b. males' brains show more lateralization than females' brains, so that a larger portion of the right hemisphere can process spatial information.
c. males' brains show more lateralization than females' brains, leading to a decreased ability in combining different cognitive skills.
d. verbal tasks use the right hemisphere in males, but the left hemisphere in females.
