cognitive ability has what 3 sub types
general, specific, learning abilities
1 of 43
give 4 other names for general cognitive ability
intelligence or 'g'or IQ
2 of 43
give 3 examples of specific cognitive abilities
verbal skills, spatial skills, memory
3 of 43
give 3 examples of learning abilities
maths, reading, communication
4 of 43
are cognitive abilities reliable or stable
both
5 of 43
give 2 reasons why we should study cognitive abilities
they predict many social outcomes and they focus on STEM subjects
6 of 43
what does STEM stander
Science, Technology, Economics and Maths
7 of 43
there are differences ______ and ______, _________ and ________
between and within, countries and schools
8 of 43
the within differences are better known as what
individual differences
9 of 43
in fact there is how much overlap of individual differences
90%
10 of 43
explain the relationship between cognitive abilities and genetics
cognitive and learning abilities are heritable traits, this heritability increases with age
11 of 43
what about environmental factors
genetic and environmental factors co-act
12 of 43
what are the two main designs to investigation the roles of nature and nature
Twin design and adoption studies
13 of 43
what are the two types of twin design
MZ vs DZ twins and twins raised apart and twins not
14 of 43
how much % of genes do DZ twins share
50
15 of 43
how much % of genes do MZ twins share
100
16 of 43
what does phenotype mean
are traits or characteristics of an organism that we can observe
17 of 43
what is the symbol for phenotype variation
P
18 of 43
what is the equation for phenotype variation
P = h2 + c2 + e2 (the 2 means squared)
19 of 43
what does the h2 stand for
heritability
20 of 43
what is another symbol for heritability
A
21 of 43
what is heritability
influence of genetic factors
22 of 43
what is the equation for heritability
h2 = 2 ( r MZ - r DZ )
23 of 43
what does the c2 stand for
Shared environment
24 of 43
what is another symbol for
C
25 of 43
what is shared environment
any environmental influences that contribute for the similarity of the twins
26 of 43
what is the equation for shared environment
c2 = rMZ - h2
27 of 43
what does the e2 stand for
non shared environment
28 of 43
what is another symbol for non shared environment
E
29 of 43
what is non shared environment
any environmental influences that contribute for the differences of the twins
30 of 43
what is the equation for
e2 = 1 - rMZ
31 of 43
studies have found that _______ and ______ are more heritable that __________ in primary school
literacy and numeracy skills, IQ
32 of 43
what type of study was it
longitudinal, at ages 7, 9, 12
33 of 43
what is the reason for why literacy and numeracy skills were more heritable
the british environment is very universal so the only differences left would be genetic
34 of 43
although lower, the heritability of IQ did what?
Increase with age
35 of 43
in another study, the heritbabitliy of IQ went from ___ at childhood, to ___ at adolescence, to ___ at later adulthood
40, 60, 80
36 of 43
alongside cognitive ability, what is also heritable
cognitive disabilities
37 of 43
complex traits are what
polygenic traits
38 of 43
some may follow the OGOD hypothesis, what is this
one gene one disorder
39 of 43
give an example
PKU
40 of 43
but most will follow what hypothesis
quantative loci hypothesis
41 of 43
this means what
multiple genetic factors are need for disorder to develop
42 of 43
what is a hallmark of polygenic traits
a bell curve and continuous distribution
