Differences and similarities in perceptual and cognitive abilities. Freud (cid:271)elie(cid:448)ed that (cid:449)o(cid:373)e(cid:374) had less i(cid:374)tellige(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause they did(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e ti(cid:373)e to develop those abilities since they were busy nurturing. Verbal skills may be different based on gender because people remember things better if they are interested in the topic, so perhaps the boys are simply uninterested. Many occupations require good mental rotation (pilot, engineer, architects), and these are all male dominated positions. With training, women can also do these positions just as well as the males tur(cid:374)er"s sy(cid:374)dro(cid:373)e are no intellectual differences between turner girls and normal girls differences. Being a woman is not the reason for cognitive differences in gender. Lacked an x chromosome (xx-1)- if the girls were treated as equal as other girls, there. Therefore, the defective x chromosome is not the explanation for the cognitive. Xyy showed lower intelligence than the regular xy males.
