We will familiarize ourselves with current research methods and paradigms that attempt to isolate or seaprate different influences on gender specific development (genes, Hormones, cognition, socialisation, etc.). We will get to know which cognitive or emotional functions likely differ systematically between genders and why it can be difficult to determine the gender-specificity of cogntiive and emotional functions with certainty. In working through and presenting relevant scientific literature repeatedly, we will also hone our presentation skills.
