Cognitive traits are more appropriate for genetic analysis than social outcomes
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e224 (2023)
Abstract
The critique of the genetics of complex social outcomes is partly well-founded, insofar as social outcomes sometimes have unreliable relations with cognitive traits. But the correct conclusion is not to dismiss the entire field altogether. Rather, the implication is to redirect geneticists' attention to the stable cognitive phenotypes that are natural candidates for genetic analysis.My notes
