The two best predictors of children's educational achievement available from birth are
parents' socioeconomic status (SES) and, recently, children's inherited DNA differences that …

Accurate understanding of environmental moderation of genetic influences is vital to
advancing the science of cognitive development as well as for designing interventions. One …

Bioecological theory predicts that cognitive ability is more heritable among those raised in
higher socioeconomic status (SES) families. However, the mechanism of this effect is …

Individual differences in executive functions (EF) are heritable and predictive of academic
attainment (AA). However, little is known about genetic contributions to EFs or their genetic …

Polygenic propensity for educational attainment has been associated with higher education

In the past decade, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have delivered an
increasingly broad view of the genetic basis of human phenotypic variation. One of the major …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) seek to understand the relationship between
complex phenotype (s)(eg, height) and up to millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms …

There is an emerging appreciation that genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have
failed to live up to expectations and deliver major advances to date. A “surge” strategy, of …

There exists a moderate correlation between MRI-measured brain size and the general
factor of IQ performance (g), but the question of whether the association reflects a …
