Casto, S. D.; And Others
Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, v8 n4 p295-306 Aug 1996
Assesses etiology of reading disability as a function of mathematics performance by subjecting data from 168 same-sex twin pairs where at least one member was reading disabled to quantitative genetic analysis. Suggests that genetic factors may be especially salient as a cause of reading disability in children with borderline deficits in mathematics performance. (PA)
