    Exploring Gender Differences In Brain Activity While Performing Different Tasks
    (2023-08) Kameli, Maryam
    This thesis investigates the nuanced differences in brain activity between genders during the execution of varied tasks. Utilizing electroencephalography (EEG), we closely analyzed the cognitive processes of male and female subjects across a range of activities. Our findings revealed distinct patterns of brain activity between genders, reflective of the differing anatomical structures and neural pathways in male and female brains. Notably, our research demonstrates that these differences do not confer cognitive superiority to one gender over the other. Instead, they highlight diverse cognitive strategies emanating from gender-related anatomical differences. The exploration of these disparities can greatly enhance our understanding of the human brain and help foster strategies for personalized learning and therapeutic approaches. Future research should continue to investigate these differences in a larger and more diverse population, providing even more comprehensive insights into the intricate interplay of gender, brain anatomy, and cognitive function.

    A study of grade level and gender differences in divergent thinking among 8th and 11th graders in a Mid-Western school district.
    (2011-10) Roue, Leah Christine
    This research study compared gender and grade level differences in divergent thinking among middle school and high school students in the Midwest, in an attempt to determine whether gender or grade level-based differences exist in divergent thinking. The instrument used was based on the Wallach and Kogan Creativity Test (WKCT). There were 166 public school students in the study from the 8th and 11th grades. The results were analyzed in an effort to answer two research questions: Are there gender differences in fluency, flexibility, or originality of a response? Are there grade level (age) differences in fluency, flexibility, or originality of a response? Quantitative and qualitative reporting is used.
