The etiology of variation in language skills changes with development: a longitudinal twin study of language from 2 to 12 years.

Developmental science - 1 Mar 2012

Hayiou-Thomas Marianna E, Dale Philip S, Plomin Robert

Abstract excerpt

The present study is the first long-term longitudinal examination of the etiology of individual differences in language from early childhood through to adolescence. We applied a multivariate latent factor genetic model to longitudinal data from the Twins Early Development Study in order to (a) compare the magnitude of genetic and environmental influences on language skills in early childhood (2, 3 and 4 years),...
