Are girls and boys inherently different in learning styles?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) May 29th, 2009

There are differences observed (through studies) but I don’t attribute those differences to inherent differences between males and females of our species. Simone_De_Beauvoir wrote that in this question. I had gotten into an offshoot of the question that had to do with what I believe are differing learning styles for girls and boys.

Male and female bodies and brains are configured differently. Is function, in humans, dependent on form, and if so, to what extent? Is human behavior inherently different based on gender? If so, what do you think the inherent causes of those differences are? If not, then what explains observed differences in behavior?

I leave it to you to define inherent since I’m not quite sure what that means.
