Wood, Alexis C.; Buitelaar, Jan; Rijsdijk, Fruhling; Asherson, Philip; Kuntsi, Jonna – Psychological Bulletin, 2010
Burt (2009) recently published a meta-analysis of twin studies on behaviors associated with childhood psychopathologies, concluding that the finding that traits associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were the only behaviors that did not show a significant influence of shared environment (C) was surprising. We agree,…

van Geert, Paul; Steenbeek, Henderien – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2008
Immordino-Yang's description of the unexpected recovery of 2 boys with severe brain trauma is an example of the interplay between the plasticity of the brain and the plasticity of the context.

Smith, Adam – Psychological Record, 2006
This article presents 7 simple models of the relationship between cognitive empathy (mental perspective taking) and emotional empathy (the vicarious sharing of emotion).
