with humour, i reply to this excerpt from zoogster's post:
"Men were designed as is seen in all primates and most mammals for combat, agressiveness, yet differ far less chemicly day to day meaning the same stimuli under the same conditions will likely provoke a similar response."
reply:
"If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?"
ok...all kidding aside ( and please zoogster, understand no flaming was ever intended, just a smile in return for your interesting post), IMHO sure, women usually do pick up using firearms quite well. But then, so do the men.
I'd respectfully point out that there may be a factor in addition to our (meaning human) social behaviors & natural human instincts - the way we learn. Ever notice some people learn by different methods? some can be told; some have to just 'play' with the object; others just read about it, then apply it. Success in learning a skill like using firearms may lie in how we process information. In short, we each have a learning style.
What are learning styles?
Learning styles are simply different approaches or ways of learning.
What are the types of learning styles?
1) Visual Learners:
learn through seeing... .
These learners need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to fully understand the content of a lesson. They tend to prefer sitting at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads). They may think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs. During a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners often prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information.
2) Auditory Learners:
learn through listening...
They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say. Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. Written information may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners often benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.
3) Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners:
learn through , moving, doing and touching... Tactile/Kinesthic - Hand
Tactile/Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.
