Cognitive ability and education: How behavioural genetic research has advanced our knowledge and understanding of their association
Malanchini, M; Rimfeld, K; Allegrini, AG; Ritchie, SJ; Plomin, R (2020) -
Evidence for a unitary structure of spatial cognition beyond general intelligence.
Malanchini, M; Rimfeld, K; Shakeshaft, NG; McMillan, A; Schofield, KL; Rodic, M; Rossi, V; Kovas, Y; Dale, PS; Tucker-Drob, EM (2020-07-02)Performance in everyday spatial orientation tasks (e.g., map reading and navigation) has been considered functionally separate from performance on more abstract object-based spatial abilities (e.g., mental rotation and ... -

Malanchini, M; Allegrini, AG; Nivard, MG; Biroli, P; Rimfeld, K; Cheesman, R; von Stumm, S; Demange, PA; van Bergen, E; Grotzinger, AD (2023-10-26) -

The genetics of specific cognitive abilities
Procopio, F; Zhou, Q; Wang, Z; Gidziela, A; Rimfeld, K; Malanchini, M; Plomin, R (Elsevier, 2022)Most research on individual differences in performance on tests of cognitive ability focuses on general cognitive ability (g), the highest level in the three-level Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) hierarchical model of intelligence. ... -
Pathfinder: A gamified measure to integrate general cognitive ability into the biological, medical, and behavioural sciences
Malanchini, M; Rimfeld, K; Gidziela, A; Cheesman, R; Allegrini, A; Shakeshaft, N; Schofield, K; Packer, A; Ogden, R; McMillan, A (Springer Nature [academic journals on nature.com], 2021-10-01)Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have uncovered DNA variants associated with individual differences in general cognitive ability ( g ), but these are far from capturing heritability estimates obtained from twin studies. ... -
Using DNA to predict behaviour problems from preschool to adulthood
Gidziela, A; Rimfeld, K; Malanchini, M; Allegrini, A; McMillan, A; Selzam, S; Ronald, A; Viding, E; von Stumm, S; Eley, T (2021-09-06)Background: One goal of the DNA revolution is to predict problems in order to prevent them. We tested here if the prediction of behaviour problems from genome-wide polygenic scores (GPS) can be improved by creating composites ... -

Rimfeld, K; Malancini, M; Packer, AE; Gidziela, A; Allegrini, AG; Ayorech, Z; Smith-Woolley, E; McMillan, A; Ogden, R; Dale, PS -
The winding roads to adulthood: A twin study.
Rimfeld, K; Malanchini, M; Packer, AE; Gidziela, A; Allegrini, AG; Ayorech, Z; Smith-Woolley, E; McMillan, A; Ogden, R; Dale, PS (2021-12)AIMS: Here we report the results of the first systematic investigation of genetic and environmental influences on 57 psychological traits covering major issues in emerging adulthood such as aspirations, thoughts and ...
