Robert J. Sternberg – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2024
This article proposes a duplex model for understanding giftedness. The first part of the duplex is the set of gifted skills and attitudes that one possesses as a result of heredity, the environment, and their interaction. It is the input that one has acquired from one's life experiences. The second part of the duplex is the utilization or…

Antonie Knigge; Ineke Maas; Kim Stienstra; Eveline L. de Zeeuw; Dorret I. Boomsma – npj Science of Learning, 2022
There are concerns that ability tracking at a young age increases unequal opportunities for children of different socioeconomic background to develop their potential. To disentangle family influence and potential ability, we applied moderation models to twin data on secondary educational track level from the Netherlands Twin Register (N = 8847).…

Domingue, Benjamin W.; Trejo, Sam; Armstrong-Carter, Emma; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Interest in the study of gene-environment interaction has recently grown due to the sudden availability of molecular genetic data--in particular, polygenic scores--in many long-running longitudinal studies. Identifying and estimating statistical interactions comes with several analytic and inferential challenges; these challenges are heightened…

Cross, Tracy L.; Cross, Jennifer Riedl – High Ability Studies, 2021
Some students with gifts and talents (SWGT) are among the thousands of youths who die by suicide every year, although there is no way to know how many. Research indicates they are not more likely to engage in suicidal behaviors than other students. They do have unique risk and protective factors, however. Risk factors can accumulate to outweigh…

Trejo, Sam; Domingue, Benjamin W. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Results from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be used to generate a polygenic score (PGS), an individual-level measure summarizing identified genetic influence on a trait dispersed across the genome. For complex, behavioral traits, the association between an individual's PGS and their phenotype may contain bias (from geographic,…

Schmid, Kelly M.; Lee, Dennis; Weindling, Monica; Syed, Awais; Agyemang, Stephanie-Louise Yacoba; Donovan, Brian; Radick, Gregory; Smith, Michelle K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate genetics courses have historically focused on simple genetic models, rather than taking a more multifactorial approach where students explore how traits are influenced by a combination of genes, the environment, and gene-by-environment interactions. While a focus on simple genetic models can provide straightforward examples to…

Uma Devi; Vikas Kumar; Pushpraj S Gupta; Suchita Dubey; Manjari Singh; Swetlana Gautam; Jitendra K Rawat; Subhadeep Roy; Rajnish Kumar Yadav; Mohd Nazam Ansari; Abdulaziz S. Saeedan; Gaurav Kaithwas – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are often considered to be genetic. They are characterized by unificational behavioral abnormalities which are classified in two basic domains: social relations and social communication, and restricted and repetitive pattern of behaviors and activity. Clinical research has evidenced that genetic and environmental…

Zajda, Joseph – Curriculum and Teaching, 2019
This article analyses research of theories and models of intelligence. It examines current developments in intelligence research, covering the formation of more complex and diverse intelligence theories. First, the article examines some of the widely used aptitude/intelligence tests include, such Stanford-Binet Intelligence Quotient, Wechsler…

Toseeb, Umar; Oginni, Olakunle Ayokunmi; Dale, Philip S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
There is considerable variability in the extent to which young people with developmental language disorder (DLD) experience mental health difficulties. What drives these individual differences remains unclear. In the current article, data from the Twin Early Development Study were used to investigate the genetic and environmental influences on…

Thomas, Michael S. C.; Forrester, Neil A.; Ronald, Angelica – Cognitive Science, 2016
In the multidisciplinary field of developmental cognitive neuroscience, statistical associations between levels of description play an increasingly important role. One example of such associations is the observation of correlations between relatively common gene variants and individual differences in behavior. It is perhaps surprising that such…

Del Giudice, Marco – Developmental Psychology, 2016
According to models of differential susceptibility, the same neurobiological and temperamental traits that determine increased sensitivity to stress and adversity also confer enhanced responsivity to the positive aspects of the environment. Differential susceptibility models have expanded to include complex developmental processes in which genetic…

Paschall, Katherine W.; Mastergeorge, Ann M. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2016
The concept of bidirectionality represents a process of mutual influence between parent and child, whereby each influences the other as well as the dyadic relationship. Despite the widespread acceptance of bidirectional models of influence, there is still a lack of integration of such models in current research designs. Research on…

Tarantino, Nicholas; Tully, Erin C.; Garcia, Sarah E.; South, Susan; Iacono, William G.; McGue, Matt – Developmental Psychology, 2014
Adolescence and early adulthood is a time when peer groups become increasingly influential in the lives of young people. Youths exposed to deviant peers risk susceptibility to externalizing behaviors and related psychopathology. In addition to environmental correlates of deviant peer affiliation, a growing body of evidence has suggested that…

Thomas, Michael S. C.; Forrester, Neil A.; Ronald, Angelica – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important environmental predictor of language and cognitive development, but the causal pathways by which it operates are unclear. We used a computational model of development to explore the adequacy of manipulations of environmental information to simulate SES effects in English past-tense acquisition, in a data…

Burt, S. Alexandra; Klump, Kelly L. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 2012
A recent meta-analysis of 103 studies Burt ("Clinical Psychology Review," 29:163-178, 2009a) highlighted the presence of etiological distinctions between aggressive (AGG) and non-aggressive rule-breaking (RB) dimensions of antisocial behavior, such that AGG was more heritable than was RB, whereas RB was more influenced by the shared…
