Springer Behavior Genetics of Cognition Across the Lifespan

Explore the evolution of cognitive research in this academic volume from Springer. As a primary focus in behavior genetics alongside psychopathology, cognition has been studied since the early work of Francis Galton in 1874. This book moves past the old nature vs. nurture debate to provide a modern perspective on how cognitive achievements and abilities function. This volume is part of the Advances in Behavior Genetics series. It provides readers with current methodologies for understanding cognitive abilities through advanced statistical modeling. By focusing on recent developments in the collection of twin data, specifically longitudinal twin data, this text offers a contemporary look at the field. It is an essential resource for those studying neurology, clinical neurophysiology, and the genetic foundations of human cognition.
