Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Being an expert on a particular topic of knowledge provides a schema or framework for further learning. This means that the learner is able to assimilate new information more easily and quickly because they already have a foundation of knowledge and understanding on the topic. It does not diminish interest in learning or impede further learning. There is no evidence that it only speeds further learning for one gender over the other.
