After answering these questions, what baffles you the most about Fine’s Unraveling hardwiring?
#21, ""Unraveling Hardwiring" Cordelia Fine What does Fine's article mean by "hardwiring"? What is Fine's understanding of the relationship between genes and behavior? What is the neuroconstructivist perspective on brain development? . What was the Great Male Variability Hypothesis and what did it seek to claim? Give examples of how science achievement scores by gender vary by ethnicity within the U.S. and across different countries. What does this suggest? . Explain psychologist Thomas Morton's research and his findings? What do they suggest?

Explanation / Answer

Fine's article on hardwiring focuses on neuroscientific findings on sex differences, I.e. the hardwired differences between Male and female brains could explain why men are better equipped at certain tasks like map reading and women at better at communication skills. Evidence suggests greater connectivity between hemispheres in females and greater connectivity within hemispheres in males. This therefore makes men better at perception and coordination, whereas females better at analytical and intuitive processing modes. Different wiring has been proven in scientific study.

Neurological trace differences are also caused due to socially gendered behavior and attributes that expose both genders to different experiences.

Well informed public debate and further investigation is required in the field of behavioral genetics to refine understanding of behavior in general. Careful reporting and sensitive handling is needed for the same.

Neuroconstructive perspective suggests that gene-gene and gene-environment interaction are considered to play vital role in how brain progresses and how it becomes specialized over developmental span. This means that both Genes and behavior are said to contribute in forming behavior patterns in an individual.

The greater male variability hypothesis suggests that greater diversity of traits is found in males as compared to females. These differences in findings of gender based differences in ethnicity are suggestive of trait variability in general. It also suggests that gender differences are contributed by experiences and environment than merely based on genetic composition and physiology.

Thomas Morton was an English cultural environment in US. He was the first to bring out articles on melancholy and bring forth the audience's focus on different prevailing aspects of the society.
