Pre-teen children believe ‘brilliance’ is a male trait, and this stereotype increases in strength up to the age of twelve (IMAGE)
Caption
Figure 1. Sample test trials from the gender-brilliance IAT. During half of the trials, participants had to press a key to categorise the male photographs with the genius words. This process was repeated in the second half of the trials with female photographs and genius words. Participants with an implicit “brilliance = men” association will react faster to trials involving pictures of men than pictures involving women. The photographs have been processed to protect the privacy of the volunteers.
