Karten in diesem Stapel (9)
- 1A01: inheritancethe genetic theory of intelligence states that intelligence is inherited
- 2A01: why we use twin studies-MZ twins share the same genes therefore they should have the same intelligence levels.
- 3A01: NPTN genescientists, on average, found that teenagers carrying a particular gene variant had a thinner cortex in the left cerebral hemisphere, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, and performed less well on tests for intellectual ability.
-0.5% can be explained by this - 4candidate gene: FADS2this is a phenotype gene. expression of this gene can be used to predict iq of children
- 5candidate gene: IGF2TR-two groups
-aged 6-15
-one super intelligent, other average
-this gene was found in 36% of the super intelligent group and only 6% of the average group - 6A02: ridley-meta-analysis
-87%, 86% for MZ twins not separated
-76% for those apart
87% on test retest
-problem with test
-intelligence isn't stable, lack of sleep is a variable - 7A02: university of Edinburgh-those with autism gene. but not developed, performed higher than normal control group
-repeated in Australia found the same results in adolescents twins (high reliability) - 8IDA: reductionistsaying behaviour is caused by 1 gene inst proven, doesnt take into account other factors like environmental
