The origins of individual differences in memory among the elderly: a behavior genetic analysis.

Psychology and aging - 1 Dec 1993

Finkel D, McGue M

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this investigation was to apply behavior genetic methods to investigate individual differences in memory performance. Memory and various cognitive and lifestyle variables were obtained from 93 monozygotic twin pairs and 67 dizygotic twin pairs aged 60-88 years as part of the Minnesota Twin Study of Adult Development and Aging. Univariate analysis, used to determine the relative influence of genetic...
