Multivariate Genetic Analysis of Specific Cognitive Abilities in the Colorado Adoption Project at Age 7.
Cardon, Lon R.; And Others
Intelligence, v16 n3-4 p383-400 Jul-Dec 1992
A multivariate hierarchical model of specific cognitive abilities was fitted to data from 196 adopted and 213 nonadopted children from the Colorado Adoption Project and 120 of their siblings to assess genetic influence on specific mental abilities. Genetic effects occur in middle childhood that differentially influence mental ability scores. (Author/SLD)
