Newborn Girls and Boys Show Different Attention Patterns Within Hours of Birth
Key Takeaways
- A University of Cambridge team tested 130 newborn infants within hours of birth.
- Girls spent a greater proportion of looking time on a moving human face; boys spent a greater proportion on a swinging Newton's cradle.
- All infants, regardless of sex, generally preferred the social stimulus overall.
- Because the differences appear so soon after birth, prenatal factors may contribute.
