That's an interesting point. I can see that, as you say puberty and hormones impact brain function and hence behaviour, and those are inate and not learned. But at least superfically that would appear to be primarily broad behavioural effects, similar to what might be induced by medication. Rather than something that impacts pure abstract problem solving, which I guess is what the Atari games are supposed to represent?

This is obviously wrong from genetic defects that cause predictable development problems in specialized areas. They are innate but not present at birth.
