Generalist genes and high cognitive abilities.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2009

Haworth Claire M A, Dale Philip S, Plomin Robert

Abstract excerpt

The concept of generalist genes operating across diverse domains of cognitive abilities is now widely accepted. Much less is known about the etiology of the high extreme of performance. Is there more specialization at the high extreme? Using a representative sample of 4,000 12-year-old twin pairs from the UK Twins Early Development Study, we investigated the genetic and environmental overlap between web-based...
