Cognitive abilities: use of family data as a control to assess sex and age differences in two ethnic groups.

Wilson JR, De Fries JC, McClearn GE, Vanderberg SG, Johnson RC, Rashad MN.

Abstract

Four cognitive factors were extracted from test data obtained on 997 families (3,268 individuals) in Hawaii. Factor loading profiles for the two largest ethnic groups (Caucasians and Japanese) are nearly identical, as are profiles for three different age groups. Age curves are presented for factor scores and for four specific cognitive tests. The younger respondents on the age curves are biological offspring of older respondents represented on the same curves, facilitating an unusual control for between-family variance. When the data were stratified by ethnicity, differential rates of cognitive development were indicated.
