I've been wondering what happened to Jelte M. Wicherts & Cor de Haan's paper on stereotype threat that they were publicizing at the 2009 ISIR conference and which you pointed to in a January 6, 2010 VDARE article[1]. I'd occasionally look at Wicherts' CV page[2] to see if it had been published yet, but it was always undergoing peer-review, until a couple of months ago when it seems to have been removed completely from the CV. What's going on here? Maybe the paper had some serious flaws and never passed peer-review.

If the failure of Stereotype threat to appear in many experiments is, in a major proportion, due to publication bias, then the ability of some of the best known researchers in the field to replicate their findings over and over, against all statistical explanation as publication bias, is evidence, in their cases, of something approaching fraud.

Reading my previous comment, I should have said instead something like:

naah, tis but noble lies as Judith Kleinfeld says.

Do these studies control for the effort put in? If girls were spending less time studying maths than boys, you'd be sure to see that statistic instead of such amusing intellectual theories.

This is like the Global Warming Effect. Two imaginary studies.

* Squirrel populations decreasing in Someplace, USA, because of anything but global warming = not published.

* Squirrel populations decreasing in Someplace, USA, because of global warming = published + grant money to continue studying.

It would be interesting to do a wide ranging study of publications and grants in relation to progressive political issues.

There's a strong visual-spatial component to mental arithmetic, at least the way it is taught in schools - the way western mathematical formats lay it out (e.g. below) and the way it is encouraged using indo-arabic numberals. I know this from personal experience and working with my wife - who has no trouble with mathematical abstractions, but does have difficulties with mental arithmetic (until we figured out a way that works for her).

e.g.

_24
+19
___
_43

The carrying operations are strictly spatial, both when laid out on paper and when done in ones head. Analyze your own mental process in solving the above to see this.
