Yes, and give examples what males and females are good at. Males are better at spatial awareness and females are better at communication.

Evidence- animal studies- rats with high levels of testosterone casue slow growth in nuerones of left hemishpere,
McGlone- men and women who had suffered a stroke on left hemisphere of brain- men suffered more serious damage to speech than women.

male brains are more lateralised then female brains, there is more activity on the right side of the brain heimisphere for males-hense why their better at spatial ability, whereas in females there is greater activitiy on the left hemisphere hense why their better at speech and verbal communiction...
in general males have a more laterlised brain in both left and right sides, whereas females have a lower lateralisation as there is equal amount of laterilastion on each side hense why females are better at multi tasking

brain has two hemispheres- left and right
lateralisation refers to using different hemispheres of the brain for different tasks such as using the left side for language and the right side for reading a map. evidence suggests that there are differences in the lateralisation of the brain for males and females. male brains are more lateralisied as they use a particular side of the brain for particular function and female brains are less lateralised as they use both sides of the brain for particular functions. males use the right hemisphere of the brain because they are good at spatial awareness and females use both hemispheres and are better communicators

Anoreixia, is where calory intake is limited to 600-800 a day, resulting in people having body fat % of under 80-85%, aneorica often occurs in females rather then males there is a 90-95% chance of females who are aneroxic as they are constantly influenced by the media to lose weight, e.g vicarious reienforcement where glamourous models such as victoria beckham are looked up as for living such a glamourous lifestyle, so girls aspire to be rich and sucessfull by losing weight trying to look their best, in most western cultures females have lost alot of weight due to the influence of media, there are fewer skinny male role models which suggests why there isn;t many male anorixics

:wink:

thats all we need to know!

5 year old boy taken to freud suffering from phobia of horses. Freud saw hans once or twice. Information came mostly through hans father.
At age 3, hans developed interest in his own penis. Age 5 mother threatened to cut it off if he did not stop playing with it. Developed fear a white horse would bite him. Hans fathee related to freud that this was probably related to horses large penis. Father objected him into getting into parents bed in the morning. Hans feared going out of the house incase he encounted a horse. Fear became limited to horses with black harness noses, hans father interpreted this as his black moustache. Hans had two fantasises: he had several imaginery children, asked who the mother was, said why mummy and you’re granddad. Also imagined a plumber fitting him with a bigger penis.
Freud saw phobias as expression of Oedipus complex-fantasised himself with a big penis like his father and married to his mother with father in role of grandad

pretty much freuds study.
my key issue is " are memories discovered in therapy true"?
is this the one that you want?
