Heritability of Functional Literacy: Evidence from a Classical Twin Design.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2026

Kolachev Nikita, Kovaleva Galina

Abstract excerpt

Functional literacy-the ability to apply reading, mathematical, and scientific knowledge in authentic contexts as operationalized by the PISA framework-is a key predictor of educational attainment, labour-market outcomes, and economic growth. Despite extensive behavioral-genetic research on cognitive ability, the heritability of competency-based literacy measures remains largely unexamined, particularly outside...
