Learning styles and brain sex

Men and women do think differently, revealed a new research study into the anatomy of the brain.

Our brain is made primarily of two different types of tissue:
· grey matter (which can be seen as information processing centers)
· and white matter (which serves as a network to these processing centers).

The latest findings conclude that men think by utilising chiefly their grey matter, while women think more with the white matter. This explains why men often excel at tasks requiring more localized processing, such as mathematics, while women tend to be better at integrating and assimilating information, which aids language skills.

Is your brain better at sequential information processing or simultaneous information processing or equally good at both? To find out, do the Learning Style Analysis (http://www.creativelearningcentre.com/products/learning-style-analysis/about.html) or the Working Style Analysis (http://www.creativelearningcentre.com/products/working-style-analysis/about.html).
