NEWS: NYTimes: Study Says Sexes Think Differently


Study Says Sexes Think Differently

November 29, 2000 - CHICAGO, Nov. 28 (AP) ? New research suggests that men 
listen with just half their brains.

In a study of 20 men and 20 women, brain scans showed that men when listening 
mostly used the left sides of their brains, the region long associated with 
understanding language. Women in the study, however, used both sides.

Dr. Lurito's findings, presented today at the Radiological Society of North 
America's annual meeting, do not necessarily mean that women are better 
listeners. It could be that "it's harder for them," Dr. Lurito said, suggesting 
that they might have to use more of their brains than men to do the same task.
