Sex Differences in Intelligence and Brain Size: A Developmental Theory.
Lynn, Richard
Intelligence, v27 n1 p1-12 1999
Proposes a developmental theory of sex differences in intelligence that states that the faster maturation and brain size growth in girls up to age 15 compensates for their smaller brain size so that sex differences in intelligence are very small. Discusses evidence that supports this theory. (SLD)
