Abstract excerpt

The etiology of the longitudinal stability of reading performance was assessed by analyzing data from adoptive and nonadoptive sibling pairs (206 pairs at age 7, 195 pairs at age 12, and 110 pairs at age 16) tested in the Colorado Adoption Project (CAP). Results of longitudinal behavioral genetic analyses confirmed previous findings of moderate genetic influence on individual differences in reading performance at...
