description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2016 FrancePublisher:Elsevier BV Authors: Thomas Breda; Melina Hillion;Thomas Breda; Melina Hillion;pmid: 27471301
Signaling ability and grit to academia In many professions, getting ahead requires evidence of both effort and ability. This is especially true if one is not a member of the dominant group and thus surmounting social norms. Breda and Hillion show that oral examiners of candidates for teaching positions in the French education system reward such applicants. Specifically, women applying for high-level teaching positions in male-dominated fields, such as physics and philosophy, are favored, as are men who apply in female-dominated fields, such as literature and foreign languages. Science , this issue p. 474

The ability to develop these skills has often been attributed to the prior acquisition of a complex language. For example, we learn how letters sound and thus recognize when a particular letter makes up part of a word. However, orthographic processing is also a visual process, because we learn to recognize words as discrete objects, and the ability to read may thus be related to an ability to recognize and classify objects. Grainger et al. (p. 245 ; see the Perspective by Platt and Adams ) tested orthographic skills in baboons. Captive, but freely ranging, baboons were trained to distinguish real English words from combinations of similar letters that are not words, and they were able to distinguish real words with remarkable accuracy. Thus, a basic ability to recognize words as objects does not require complex linguistic understanding.

All this made his youth an adventure worthy of a novel, in which conviction and courage went face to face with tragedy.
