Good Evening to All!!! =)
I would like to know if many of you agree with the following (What are your personal thoughts and feelings):
According to Halperm, 2004, 2006; Hedges & Nowell, 1995; Maccoby & Jacklin, 1974,
"Girls are often slightly better at verbal tasks as reading and writing."
According to Benbow, Lubinski, Shea and Eftekhari-Sanjani, 2000,
"Especially after puberty, boys perform somewhat better on some tasks involving visual-
spatial , and adolescents with extremely high mathematical ability are more likely to be male
than females!"
I personally agree with the statement above because with personal experience, I am WAAAYYYY better with tasks such as reading and writing, yet my best friend (a boy) is a "math geek"!

I agree and disagree with those statements. In my personal experience I have always done better in reading and writing tasks and struggled in mathematical tasks. I have seen males around me who seem to excel at mathematical tasks and do poorly in writing and reading however, I have also seen males struggle in math and do well in reading so it varies.
