All measures of cognitive processes correlate moderately at the phenotypic level and
correlate substantially at the genetic level. General cognitive ability (g) refers to what diverse …

General cognitive ability (g), which refers to what cognitive abilities have in common, is an
important target for molecular genetic research because multivariate quantitative genetic …

Multivariate quantitative genetic research suggests a hierarchical model of cognitive abilities
where genetic effects are largely general, cutting across most cognitive abilities. Some …

Childhood general cognitive ability (g) is important for a wide range of outcomes in later life,
from school achievement to occupational success and life expectancy. Large-scale …

We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for general cognitive ability (GCA)
plus three other analyses of GWAS data that aggregate the effects of multiple single …

Very different neurocognitive processes appear to be involved in cognitive abilities such as
verbal and non-verbal ability as compared to learning abilities taught in schools such as …

General cognitive ability (g), which is related to many aspects of brain functioning, is one of
the most heritable traits in neuroscience. Similarly to other heritable quantitatively distributed …

Progress towards identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for complex traits like intelligence
and common disorders like mental retardation has been slower than expected. An important …

It has been known since 1904 that, in humans, diverse cognitive traits are positively
intercorrelated. This forms the basis for the general factor of intelligence (g). Here, we …

There is overwhelming evidence for the existence of substantial genetic influences on
individual differences in general and specific cognitive abilities, especially in adults. The …
