The Essential Difference pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
We all know the opposite sex can be a baffling, even infuriating, species. Why do most men use the phone to exchange information rather than have a chat? Why do women love talking about relationships and feelings with their girlfriends while men seem drawn to computer games, new gadgets, or the latest sports scores? Does it really all just come down to our upbringing? In The Essential Difference , leading psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen confirms what most of us had suspected all along: that male and female brains are different. This groundbreaking and controversial study reveals the scientific evidence (present even in one-day-old babies) that proves that female-type brains are better at empathizing and communicating, while male brains are stronger at understanding and building systems-not just computers and machinery, but abstract systems such as politics and music. Most revolutionary of all, The Essential Difference also puts forward the compelling new theory that autism (and its close relative, Asperger's Syndrome) is actually an example of the extreme male brain. His theory can explain why those who live with this condition are brilliant at analyzing the most complex systems yet cannot relate to the emotional lives of those with whom they live. Understanding our essential difference, Baron-Cohen concludes, may help us not only make sense of our partners' foibles, but also solve one of the most mysterious scientific riddles of our time.

評分最後四章感覺可以略過,前六章所有論據都沒有直接給齣男女行為上的差彆在大腦上的體現,所有間接論據都依靠“如果男女行為上的差彆在所有文化族群間都存在,那麼這種差彆就可以由男女大腦上的差彆來解釋”;對於看似最具有說服力的對剛齣生嬰兒所做的研究的結果如何能支撐empathizing/systemizing的男女差異,作者也未作說明,女嬰更偏好看臉不一定就代錶empathizing更強(可能女嬰看它隻是想打它,此外女嬰更偏好看臉的結論也不完全可靠,研究中的女嬰近半數並沒有偏好),男嬰更偏好看一個system也不代錶他當時是在systemizing。中心論題的hardwired的含義也不明確,可能同時涉及剛齣生就存在的差異,受基因控製的差異,受荷爾濛影響的差異,不同文化中共有的差異,其它動物中也有的差異
評分女性大腦(同理心)和男性大腦(係統性)的本質不同,自閉癥是極端男性大腦的錶現。
