Genetic Change and Continuity from Fourteen to Twenty Months: The MacArthur Longitudinal Twin Study.

Plomin, Robert; And Others

Child Development, v64 n5 p1354-76 Oct 1993

Investigated genetic change and continuity within the domains of temperament, emotion, and cognition and language for 200 pairs of twins assessed at 14 and 20 months of age. Correlations of measures at the two ages indicated that individual differences in the second year of life showed greater change than continuity on most measures. (MDM)
