Working memory and parent-rated components of attention in middle childhood: a behavioral genetic study.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2012

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the current study was to investigate potential genetic and environmental correlations between working memory and three behavioral aspects of the attention network (i.e., executive, alerting, and orienting) using a twin design. Data were from 90 monozygotic (39% male) and 112 same-sex dizygotic (41% male) twins. Individual differences in working memory performance (digit span) and parent-rated...
