Study finds sex differences in attention present at birth
Original: Sex differences in attention are present at birth
University of Cambridge researchers report that measurable sex differences in attention can be detected in newborns, suggesting the gap emerges before social and cultural influences take hold. The finding is drawing debate, with some readers seeing support for biological explanations of cognitive differences and others questioning methodology and what the results actually imply.
Why now: The claim that cognitive sex differences exist at birth touches a sensitive, long-running debate about nature versus nurture.
