The genetic and environmental origins of learning abilities and disabilities in the early school years.

Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development - 1 Jan 2007

Kovas Yulia, Haworth Claire M A, Dale Philip S, Plomin Robert

Abstract excerpt

Despite the importance of learning abilities and disabilities in education and child development, little is known about their genetic and environmental origins in the early school years. We report results for English (which includes reading, writing, and speaking), mathematics, and science as well as general cognitive ability in a large and representative sample of U.K. twins studied at 7, 9, and 10 years of age....
