无论性别，早熟青少年在言语能力测试中的表现都好于空间能力，而晚熟青少年则表现出相反的模式。与早熟的人相比，晚熟的人在说话方面更偏向。有人认为，智力上的性别差异反映了皮质功能组织的差异，这与身体成熟的不同速度有关。
Regardless of sex, early maturing adolescents performed better on tests of verbal than spatial abilities, the late maturing ones showed the opposite pattern. Those maturing late were more lateralized for speech than those maturing early. Sex differences in mental abilities, it is argued, reflect differences in the organization of cortical function that are related to differential rates of physical maturation.
