文摘

Researchers who are interested in breathing new life into the long dormant Louisville Twin Study (LTS) presented several papers at the 2015 meeting of the behavior genetics association. This brief introduction provides a short history of the Kentucky LTS as well as synopses of expanded analyses from the presentations on genetic change and continuity in cognitive and behavioral development and those exploring aspects of the influence of gene-environment interaction on cognition. Keywords Louisville twin study Twin research Longitudinal study
