Foetal testosterone and eye contact in 12-month-old human infants (2002, background): “This also extends our earlier finding that this sex difference is present very early in development, e.g., female neonates (24-h-old) look for longer at a face than at a mobile (Connellan et al., 2001).”
Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “Female neonates, compared to males, also make more eye contact (Hittelman and Dickes, 1979) and are more likely to orient to faces (Connellan et al., 2000) and voices (Osofsky and O’Connell, 1977).”
Men, women and STEM: Why the differences and what should be done? (2020, background): “Connellan et al. (2000) presented 102 newborn babies with two objects, one after the other: a human face and a mechanical mobile.”
The Growing Importance of Social Skills in the Labor Market (2017, background): “6 literature showing sex differences in social perceptiveness and the ability to work with others (Hall 1978, Connellan et al. 2000, Woolley et al. 2010, Kirkland et al. 2013).”
Sex differences in response to children's toys in nonhuman primates (Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) (2002, unknown): “Male infants appear to prefer inanimate objects with movement, whereas female infants appear to prefer objects with animate-like qualities (form, color) (Connellan et al., 2000).”
Human sex differences in social and non-social looking preferences, at 12 months of age (2002, result): “The present results replicate the pattern seen in our experiment of one-day old neonates (Connellan et al., 2001), in whom socialisation clearly plays no significant role.”
Sex differences and the own-gender bias in face recognition: A meta-analytic review (2013, background): “Infant girls attend more to faces than infant boys do (e.g., Connellan et al., 2000), women are better at recognizing and interpreting facial expressions (Hall, 1978), and women outperform men on many episodic memory tasks (Herlitz & Rehnman, 2008)*all factors in line with the notion that there…”
Raising boys' achievement (2005, background): “…studies which show behavioural sex differences at a very early age, before children are able to form any notions of socially constructed gender (Connellan et al, 2000; Baron-Cohen, 2003); boys' disregard for authority, academic work and formal achievement (Harris et al, 1993; Rudduck et al,…”
Sex differences in intrinsic aptitude for mathematics and science?: a critical review. (2005, background): “Second, Connellan et al.'s (2000) experiment does not attempt to determine the basis for infants' preferences between the person and object.”
