Psychological mechanisms in hyperactivity: II. The role of genetic factors.

Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines - 1 Feb 2001

Kuntsi J, Stevenson J

Abstract excerpt

For a sample of 268 twin pairs aged 7-11 years we obtained ratings on the Conners' scales from both teachers (CTRS-28) and parents (CPRS-48). Forty-six hyperactive twin pairs (pairs in which at least one twin was pervasively hyperactive) and...
