The learning disabilities population: Why more boys than girls? A hot area for research

Abstract

Research often leaves the impression that there is little difference between the sexes and that results from studies using only a one sex population can readily be generalized to the other sex. It has been demonstrated, however, that there is an over‐representation of handicapped males, learning disabilities included. The physiological differences between the sexes seems to be the most promising explanation. In this article, the four components of physiological research are briefly reviewed and then discussed in terms of their relationship to developing learning disabilities.
