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...

15 صفحه اولExceptional cognitive ability: the phenotype.
Characterizing the outcomes related to the phenotype of exceptional cognitive abilities has been feasible in recent years due to the availability of large samples of intellectually precocious adolescents identified by modern talent searches that have been followed-up longitudinally over multiple decades. The level and pattern of cognitive abilities, even among participants within the top 1% of ...
متن کاملMale-mating Ability in Drosophila Melanogaster
The effect of full-sib inbreeding on competitive male-mating ability (CI8) in Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in two experiments. In the first, five inbred lines (with reserves) were assessed up to 18 generations. Linear inbreeding depression, of 5.9% per 10% increase in homozygosity, was observed. In a second experiment, 21 inbred lines were tested after three generations of full-sib ...
