Haworth, Claire M. A.; Dale, Philip; Plomin, Robert – International Journal of Science Education, 2008
We investigated for the first time the genetic and environmental aetiology behind scientific achievement in primary school children, with a special focus on possible aetiological differences for boys and girls. For a representative community sample of 2,602 twin pairs assessed at age nine years, scientific achievement in school was rated by…
