Heritability research seeks to find out:
How important intelligence is for school performance.
ow important genes are compared to the environment when it comes to explaining differences between people in some trait or characteristic.
Which genes determine intelligence.
Heritability refers to:
The extent to which differences between groups in society are due to genetic factors.
The extent to which a person’s intelligence is determined by their genetic heritage.
The extent to which variability, within a population, in a particular trait or characteristic, is explained by difference in genetic makeup.
A heritability estimate is:
A figure that describes the extent to which a person’s intelligence is due to their genes.
A figure that describes the extent to which variability in a trait (in this case intelligence) is accounted for by variability in genes.
A figure that describes how much of a group’s average intellectual ability is accounted for by their genetic heritage.
Genes play a role in explaining differences in intelligence.
Eugenicist.
Hereditarian.
Both.
The Eugenicist hereditarian( Eugenicist, hereditarian ) view is that intelligence is fixed and unalterable by circumstances in life.
The view is that an individuals intelligence is the product of a complex interaction between and
According to intelligence research, what does the 'missing heritability problem' refer to?
The inability to agree on what intelligence is.
The inability of scientists to identify specific genes that differentiate high and low scorers on IQ tests.
The inability to come up with a precise heritability estimate
Which of these tests are a method of studying heritability of intelligence
Studies of twins reared apart.
The army testing programme.
The Human Genome Project.
What is the 'equal enviornment assumption?
The assumption that genes and the environment contribute equally to the development of intelligence.
The assumption that all people are equal in terms of their abilities.
The assumption that twins raised together experience roughly equal environments, regardless of how much of their genetic material they share (whether they are identical or non-identical twins).
