Sex differences in attention present at birth, study finds
Original: Sex differences in attention are present at birth
Researchers at the University of Cambridge report that sex differences in attention can be detected in newborns, based on a new study. The finding is drawing discussion about what it suggests regarding innate cognitive differences between males and females, and how early such differences emerge. Commenters are debating the methodology, the size of the observed effect, and the broader social implications of the research.
Why now: A new Cambridge study claims to show innate sex-based attention differences, a topic that touches sensitive debates about biology and behaviour.
