Study Finds Sex Differences in Attention Present at Birth
Original: Sex differences in attention are present at birth
Researchers at the University of Cambridge report that measurable sex differences in attention can already be detected in newborn babies, suggesting the differences emerge far earlier in development than previously assumed. The finding is drawing discussion about how much of the gap is rooted in biology versus later social and environmental influence.
Why now: It touches the long-running, contentious debate over the origins of cognitive sex differences.
