the practice of claiming that there are fixed differences between female and male brains, which can explain women's inferiority or unsuitability for certain roles ( by Gina Rippon)
girls - dolls to resemble motherhood (sterotypical)
boys - soldiers + cars + fighting
an extension of general sexism, where there is a historical need to justify the role of womem using neuroscience - looking at size of the brain + structures + morphometry
studies the structures of our psyche + understanding the transitions, the metamorphosis of our mind. the mind is being shaped and shaping at the same time ( in a constant state of flux )
the quantitative analysis of form, which is a concept that encompasses both the size and shape of an organism or organ
the size of the brain (on avg) is different for males + females ( men are generally bigger so their brains are approx 10% bigger) it's anatomical
comparison of the white matter in male + female brains
a scientific paper that is published swiftly and is of a shorter length than an original research article. Scientists use this format when they have findings that need to be shared immediately with the academic community
rapid communication
study only had 21(m) + 27(w)~ too small to make inferences on general pop
one of first papers to use neuroimaging
[it evolves through childhood] a comprehensive map of anatomical white matter connections in the brain studied as a network by means of network science and graph theory
as much as there is a. significant difference statistically there is also a rather large amount of overlap, so statistically any random human is more likely to fall into that overlap area, where individual differences (m vs m) are much larger than gender ones (m vs f)
a group of people with a shared characteristic
