We explore how advances in our understanding of the genetics of complex traits such as
educational attainment could constructively be leveraged to advance research on education …

To what extent is there a general factor of risk preference, R, akin to g, the general factor of
intelligence? Can risk preference be regarded as a stable psychological trait? These …

We review rational and empirical reasons that comprehensive cognitive assessments are
useful sources of information in the evaluation and treatment of learning disabilities …

Here, we present a large (n= 107,207) genome-wide association study (GWAS) of general
cognitive ability (" g"), further enhanced by combining results with a large-scale GWAS of …

Life skills play a key role in promoting educational and occupational success in early life, but
their relevance at older ages is uncertain. Here we measured five life skills …

The dual systems model posits that adolescent risk-taking results from an imbalance
between a cognitive control system and an incentive processing system. Researchers …

Governments often base social intervention programs on studies done by psychologists and
other social scientists. Often these studies fail to mention other research suggesting that …

It is now possible to create individual-specific genetic scores, called genome-wide polygenic
scores (GPS). We used a GPS for years of education (EduYears) to predict reading …

Using twin (6,105 twin pairs) and genomic (5,825 unrelated individuals taken from the twin
sample) analyses, we tested for genetic influences on the parent-offspring correspondence …

Heritable variance in psychological traits may reflect genetic and biological processes that
are not necessarily specific to these particular traits but pertain to a broader range of …
