Home Environment and Cognitive Ability of 7-Year-Old Children in the Colorado Adoption Project: Genetic and Environmental Etiologies.

Coon, Hilary; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v26 n3 p459-68 May 1990

Study results indicate that correlations between measures of the home environment and children's intelligence quotient at 7 years of age are often mediated genetically. Among 153 adoptive and 136 nonadoptive families, such correlations were generally lower in adoptive families than in nonadoptive families. (RH)
