GIRLS perform better in school and
university because their brains are "wired" differently.
在學校和大學，女孩有更好的表現，是因為他們大腦的“線路”是不同。
精英大學心理學主任和資深講師 Kenneth
Phun說，男孩和女孩的大腦類型有差異。
Phun says all one needs to do is look at
the corpus callosum.
"This bunch of nerves is the highway
between the left and right brain. It coordinates both hemispheres of the brain
and helps both sides coordinate movement and data.
左，右大腦之間的神經叢就像是高速公路。協調大腦兩半球，並幫助雙方協調運動和資訊數據。
"Brain researchers have found that the
corpus callosum is thicker in girls and this suggests that girls are better at
multi-tasking."
“大腦研究人員發現，胼胝體是在女孩較厚、密集的，這表明，女孩在多重任務表現更好。”
There is also the arcuate fasciculus which
are the nerves in the central nervous system.
"These nerves develop earlier in
girls. They, therefore, develop the speech capability faster. That is why
females speak in sentences earlier than males.
在中樞神經系統的神經也有神經纖維束。
“這些神經在女孩發展較早。因此，他們發展演講能力較快，這是為什麼女性在說語句方面比男性早。
"The Broca's area is also more active
in females. This is the motor area for speech that processes grammatical
structures and word production."
女性的“布洛卡區也較活躍。這是一個用於語音處理的語法結構和單詞產生的運動區。”
He says for boys, the right hemisphere of
the brain is more dominant.
"Therefore, they work better on abstract
problems. This enables them to be better at spatial relationships like reading
maps, measuring and simple things like parking.
他說，男孩的右半球大腦更佔優勢。
“因此，他們對抽象問題的工作表現更好。他們的空間概念較好，這使他們處理像看地圖，測量和泊車位等簡單的事情更好。
For females, the left hemisphere is more
developed. "This helps them listen and communicate better as well as
perform better at language-based learning, which is the learning that happens
in school."
Phun says it was, therefore, important to
recognise brain-based gender differences in learning.
對女性而言，左腦比較發達。“這將有助於他們在學校的學習當中處理聽力，並更好地溝通，以及更好地執行語言為基礎的學習。”
Phun說，因此，必須認識到大腦的性別學習差異。
"How boys and girls handle emotions is
different and this also affects learning. Girls process their emotions in the
upper part of the brain called the frontal lobe which is also known as the
executive decision maker of the brain.
“男孩和女孩處理情緒是不同的，這也影響學習。女孩處理自己的情緒在大腦上方的部分稱為額葉，這也被稱為大腦的行政決策者的地方。
"This is the logical part of the brain
and helps girls verbalise their emotive information better."
On the other hand, the same process takes a
very long time for boys.
"It can take hours to process the same
emotions that girls are going through.
"Since boys can't process the
emotional distress as fast as girls, they end up holding these negative
emotions longer than girls.
“這是大腦的邏輯部分，幫助女孩能更好地用語言表達自己的情感信息。”
另一方面，對男孩來說，同樣的過程需要較長的時間。
“它需要多花費幾個小時才能處理如女孩所經歷同樣情緒的時間。
“因為男孩不能像女孩一樣快速處理情緒困擾，他們最終持有這些負面情緒的時間比女孩長。
"And since the emotional distress is
processed in the lower part of the brain for boys, namely in the amygdala
(which is the early warning system for the brain), and the brain stem, the
tendency is for him to react in a more aggressive manner or to go to the other
extreme and withdraw -- called the fight or flight response."
He said when it comes to language-based
learning, teachers should educate boys through movement-based games because
boys are very physical.
他說，當談到語言為基礎的學習，教師應通過以運動遊戲為主的方式教育男孩，因為男孩是非常具體能性的。
