Genetics and intelligence differences: five special findings.

Molecular psychiatry - 1 Feb 2015

Plomin R, Deary I J

Abstract excerpt

Intelligence is a core construct in differential psychology and behavioural genetics, and should be so in cognitive neuroscience. It is one of the best predictors of important life outcomes such as education, occupation, mental and physical health and illness, and mortality. Intelligence is one of the most heritable behavioural traits. Here, we highlight five genetic findings that are special to intelligence...
