Between-sex differences are often averaging artifacts
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (2):265-265 (1996)
Abstract
The central problem in Geary's theory is how differences are conceptualized. Recent research has shown that between-sex differences on certain tasks are a consequence of averaging within sex differences. A mixture distribution models between-sex differences on several tasks well and does not appear congenial to a sexual-selection perspective.Other Versions
