Although researchers have long agreed that girls have superior
language abilities than boys, until now no one has clearly
provided a biological basis that may account for their
differences. For the first time — and in unambiguous findings —
researchers from Northwestern University and the University of
Haifa show both that areas of the brain associated with language
work harder in girls than in boys during language tasks, and
that boys and girls rely on different parts of the brain when
performing these tasks. See, girls aren’t really better at
language, they just work harder. [Ed. Can we really trust an
article (esp. about language skills) that has grammatical
mistakes in the title? Should be "Boys' and Girls' Brains."
