Studying Rare Genetic Syndromes as a Method of Investigating Aetiology of Normal Variation in Educationally Relevant Traits

Year: 2016

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Studies using genetically sensitive research designs have contributed greatly to our understanding of the aetiology of variation in educationally relevant traits such as IQ, reading, mathematics, spatial ability and, most recently, exam performance (i.e., General Certificate of Secondary Education — GCSE — in the UK (Shakeshaft et al., 2013). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
