Nature as well as nurture contributes to the development of individual differences in
intelligence. Genetic research on intelligence has moved beyond this rudimentary nature …

Intelligence—the ability to learn, reason and solve problems—is at the forefront of
behavioural genetic research. Intelligence is highly heritable and predicts important …

Individual differences in intelligence (cognitive abilities) are a prominent aspect of human
psychology, and play a substantial role in influencing important life outcomes. Their …

This article provides an overview of the biometric and molecular genetic studies of human
psychometric intelligence. In the biometric research, special attention is given to the …

More is known about the genetics of intelligence than about any other trait, behavioral or

Nearly a century ago, Francis Galton (1883) coined the alliterative phrase, nature-nurture, a
phrase that has come to evoke a strong association with the word “controversy,” especially …

The debate over nature versus nurture in relation to intelligence is not as clearly drawn as it
was ten years ago, when geneticists claimed that intelligence is innate, while …

Investigations of specific cognitive skills can help clarify how genes shape the components
of intellect by Robert Plomin and John C. DeFries ronment matter for specific cognitive …

To further knowledge concerning the nature and nurture of intelligence, we scrutinized how
heritability coefficients vary across specific cognitive abilities both theoretically and …

Neuroscience is contributing to an understanding of the biological bases of human
intelligence differences. This work is principally being conducted along two empirical fronts …
