Originally people say women are, which is true, but why are they better at this certain task? Viatcheslav Wlassoff, PhD has point out the differences in the human brain to why men and women handle multitasking the ways they do. Wlassoff stated that the male brains are more connected within each hemisphere, while female brains are connected more between the two hemispheres. That is why men and women behave and function better. In one of Wlassoff studies it showed that men can detect and process visual stimuli and fast moving objects better than women, and scientists think it has to do with testosterone. That 's why more men become air pilots and race car drivers. "The left hemisphere of the Brian involves logical thinking while the right hemisphere is the seat of intuitive thinking." Wlassoff states in his article. "Therefore why women are better at managing relationships, empathizing, and expressing themselves creatively. Women also have a more dense grey matter letting them to interpret verbal cues and remembering faces better." Wlassoff explains. How the brain works is a big part of why male and female react differently as the …show more content…
When men and women are stressed their brain hemispheres are different as they multitask. In Stephanie Pappas 's article she talks about Mara Mather and her colleagues doing research on male and female differences as they multitasks while stressed. When women are stressed they seek out for social support, while men tend to withdrawal from it. Mather and her colleagues looked at two small parts of the brain to see the differences between male and female. They looked at the amygdala, the part of the brain that helps process facial expressions the other small part they looked at is called the insula, that involves understanding another persons state of mind. During their research they had men and women dip their hands in ice cold water and warm water. They had these people do multiple tasks and they showed the participants images of 160 faces, 80 angry and 80 neutral. Researchers noticed that the higher testosterone in male to begin with, lower the FFA, fusiform facial area, activity when stressed. They found no comparable fluctuations based on estrogen levels. "The finding supports the theory that hormones may be at the root of the differences in men and women 's response to stress" Pappas said in her article. "Men showed less functional connectivity between these areas when stressed, while women showed more. It seems when women are stressed social and emotional areas of the brain go on alert, as in men the
