Evidence for genetic mediation of executive control: a study of aging male twins.

The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences - 1 Mar 2002

Swan Gary E, Carmelli Dorit

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic and environmental influences on indexes of executive control in elderly male twins (members of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Twin Study). Multivariate genetic modeling was applied to performance on four tests: Digit Symbol Substitution, color--word interference, Trail Making B, and verbal fluency. After exclusion of individuals with a...
