Parent-Infant Resemblance for General and Specific Cognitive Abilities in the Colorado Adoption Project.

Thompson, Lee Anne; And Others

Intelligence, v9 n1 p1-13 Mar 1985

Separate dimensions of infant cognition were compared with parental general- and specific-cognitive abilities for 182 adoptive and 164 nonadoptive families. More parent-offspring resemblance was present when 24- rather than 12-month Bayley factors were used. Bayley factors were more related to parental g than to specific abilities. (Author/RD)
