Women Are Better Than Men At Pounding Nails

A new study found that women are more accurate at pounding nails. At least in the light.

Women hit the nail on the head more often in lighted conditions in a lab, but in the dark, men did better. .

"On average, men were about 25 percent more accurate than women in the dark, women were about 10 percent more accurate then men in the light."

One scientist says, "Men and women differ in their ability to perceive objects in light versus dark environments, and this has a subsequent effect on motor control".

He does admit, "we don't have a good handle on the nature of the motor control and perceptive differences that would induce this difference, but we are excited to find out."
