Genetic and Environmental Covariance Structures among WISC-R Subtests: A Twin Study.

LaBuda, Michele C.; And Others

Intelligence, v11 n3 p233-44 Jul-Sep 1987

Genetic and environmental correlations among 11 Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) subtests were estimated from a sample of 143 twin pairs using the methodology of multivariate behavioral genetics. Correlations due to within-pair environmental influences were generally small, whereas those due to shared environmental influences tended to be intermediate. (Author/LMO)
