Classical and Molecular Genetic Research on General Cognitive Ability.

The Hastings Center report - 1 Jan 2000

McGue Matt, Gottesman Irving I

Abstract excerpt

Arguably, no psychological variable has received more attention from behavioral geneticists than what has been called "general cognitive ability" (as well as "general intelligence" or "g"), and for good reason. GCA has a rich correlational network, implying that it may play an important role in multiple domains of functioning. GCA is highly correlated with various indicators of educational attainment, yet its...
