Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that more equal treatment of men and women in society has led to decreasing gender differences in cognitive abilities. Factors such as access to education and equal employment opportunities have contributed to this trend. Genetic diversity between males and females is not likely to change significantly over a short period of time and there is no evidence to suggest that males are becoming less intelligent due to playing football. Hemispheric specialization may also play a role in gender differences in cognition, but there is no evidence to suggest that it is a major factor in decreasing gender differences.
