“Male infants walk earlier, but do so after greater motor encouragement; female infants talk earlier, but are usually spoken to more. Men tend to outperform women on ‘mental rotation’ tasks, that is, when visualising the way an object would appear from a different vantage point. But the difference isn’t observed in young children and is more reliably correlated with time spent playing computer games: it’s less a question of neuroanatomy than of who has a Nintendo”

@ghost_bird I guess this makes sense to me, I had video games pushed on my because my older sister wanted to play them. Eventually they were bought for me and she could play them also. fast forward to today and I think about rotating and building objects like a computer game when I draw.
