Saudino, Kimberly J.; And Others

Intelligence, v19 n3 p359-71 Nov-Dec 1994

Etiology of high and low cognitive ability in adulthood was explored through multiple regression analysis of data from 302 pairs of Swedish twins (median age=65.6 years). Both high and low cognitive ability groups demonstrate significant group heritability, with shared rearing environment of relatively low importance. (SLD)
