This study shows non-cognitive skills mediate genetic effects on academic achievement, accounting for up to 64% of the total effect across development.

This study examines how different domains of spatial ability predict STEM educational outcomes and finds that object manipulation tests are most predictive, with genetic factors explaining most of the associations.

The paper examines how family environment mediates genetic effects on academic achievement, showing that family characteristics beyond socio-economic status influence academic outcomes through gene-environment correlation.

This paper reviews twin studies on heritability of specific cognitive abilities, finding substantial heritability similar to general intelligence, and suggests future genomic research to predict these traits independently of general intelligence.
