Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think a lot of kids in general are bad computing trajectories. I lose count of the number of kids that just stand where they are looking confidently airborne like the balls going to come down where they are and they miscalculate where they need to be by 10-15 feet.
And please don't tell me little boys are heading the ball at age 4 (see the study mentioned above) while little girls are home playing with their dollies. Brain structure is influenced by testosterone before birth and that is why there are gender differences. Women who are exposed to testosterone improve their spacial abilities.
BTW there some other interesting studies. From Live Science:
"Previous research has found that this "2D:4D" ratio — the ratio of the length of the second digit (the index finger) to that of the fourth digit (the ring finger) — reveals the amount of male hormones, mainly testosterone, a person is exposed to in the womb. The more testosterone, the longer the ring finger grows."
And....

What's the point? There appears a correlation between the length of a man's ring finger and athletic ability. Those with a longer ring finger tend to be better athletes. And since female fetus can also be exposed to testosterone, a correlation has been seen with spatial awareness in some studies and women with low (more masculine) 2D:4D ratios. Additionally gay women have relatively low (more masculine) 2D:4D ratios compared to straight women which could explain why there are so many gay women in women's professional sports.

"Consequently, testosterone exposure during critical periods of early development produces permanent behavioral changes. In humans, affected behaviors include childhood play behavior, sexual orientation, core gender identity and other characteristics that show sex differences (i.e. differ on average between males and females)."
Even that abstract is very vague. Is testosterone directly linked to spatial awareness from that? Could be, but I still didn't see random sample sizes, control groups ...... it proves nothing as it is shoddy science from what you presented. It is anecdotal and still a weak argument for me. Sorry, many scientists come to poor conclusions or have shoddy work engineered to confirm their hypotheses. More scientific studies please.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThose were articles. I want to see scientific studies from reputable scientific journals. I want large sample sizes and control groups. Got any of those? Got anything from JAMA or NEJM on this? The closest thing you presented was an abstract by NIH which confirms my theory about sports play in boys vs girls at younger ages:
