Community Influences on Cognitive Ability
Although the environment determines important individual differences in cognitive ability, most home environment variables that correlate with children's intelligence are more strongly associated with the pleiotropic effects of genes than with causal pathways of environmental transmission. Here, we demonstrate that community variables, a hitherto understudied set of constructs in research on co...

متن کاملCognitive Ability Influences Reproductive Life History Variation in the Wild
Cognition has been studied intensively for several decades, but the evolutionary processes that shape individual variation in cognitive traits remain elusive [1-3]. For instance, the strength of selection on a cognitive trait has never been estimated in a natural population, and the possibility that positive links with life history variation [1-5] are mitigated by costs [6] or confounded by eco...
متن کاملHow Geography Affects Quality∗
This paper investigates how a country’s geographic position relative to other countries affects the quality of its exports. The two driving forces are the supply-side response to the specific transportation cost (generalized Alchian-Allen effect) and the stronger preference for quality in richer countries. Producers who may be unable to adjust quality for every market will choose a common quali...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Reflection Test: how much more than Numerical Ability?
Frederick’s (2005) Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is a 3item task shown to predict susceptibility to decision-making biases better than intelligence measures. It is described as measuring ‘cognitive reflection’ a metacognitive trait capturing the degree to which people prefer to reflect on answers rather than giving intuitive responses. Herein, we ask how much of the CRT’s success can be expla...
