Cognitive test batteries in animal cognition research: evaluating the past, present and future of comparative psychometrics
For the past two decades, behavioural ecologists have documented consistent individual
differences in behavioural traits within species and found evidence for animal “personality” …

The impact of environmental interventions among mouse siblings on the heritability and malleability of general cognitive ability
B Sauce, S Bendrath, M Herzfeld… - … of the Royal …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
General cognitive ability can be highly heritable in some species, but at the same time, is
very malleable. This apparent paradox could potentially be explained by gene–environment …

The association between intelligence and lifespan is mostly genetic
Background: Several studies in the new field of cognitive epidemiology have shown that
higher intelligence predicts longer lifespan. This positive correlation might arise from …

The more g-loaded, the more heritable, evolvable, and phenotypically variable: Homology with humans in chimpanzee cognitive abilities
Expanding on a recent study that identified a heritable general intelligence factor (g) among
individual chimpanzees from a battery of cognitive tasks, we hypothesized that the more g …
