Mental Development: Family Environment and Genetic Influences.
Wilson, Ronald S.; Matheny, Adam P., Jr.
Intelligence, v7 n2 p195-215 Apr-Jun 1983
Assessments of the home environments of 116 families whose twins were participants in a longitudinal study of early mental development were conducted. Predictions of offspring intelligence scores increased from ages six months to six years old. Although home/family variables were related to mental development, so were parental education and SES.
