A twin study of differentiation of cognitive abilities in childhood.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2003

Rietveld M J H, Dolan C V, van Baal G C M, Boomsma D I

Abstract excerpt

The differentiation hypothesis in cognitive development states that cognitive abilities become progressively more independent as children grow older. Studies of phenotypic development in children have generally failed to produce convincing support for this hypothesis. The aim of the present study is to investigate the issue of differentiation at the genetic and environmental level. Six psychometric measures...
