More is known aboul the genetics of general cognitive ability (g) than any other trait in psychology. Recent findings on the genetics ofginclude the following three examples: (1) heritability increases throughout the lifespan; (2) heritabilities of performance in cognitive tests are strongly correlated with the tests' loadings on agfactor; and (3) genetic effects on scholastic achievement largely overlap with genetic effects on cognitive ability. This body of genetic research addresses the aetiology of individual differences in the normal range. Much less is known about the genetics of the high end of the distribution. Finding heritability in the normal range of cognitive ability does not imply that high ability is also genetic in origin. However, the first twin study of high IQ children, which uses a new technique that analyses the average difference between extreme groups and the rest of the population, suggests that high IQ is as heritable as individual differences in the normal range. We are currently engaged in a molecular genetic study that attempts to identify specific genes that contribute to high ability.
