This study uses genome-wide meta-regression to analyze social behavior across different contexts, ages, and reporters, identifying six genetic loci and showing modest heritability.

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.

The paper examines genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in early neurodevelopmental traits using data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study, identifying 11 latent factors and trait-specific genetic correlations with autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia.

This study identifies genetic links between early vocabulary development and ADHD and cognition traits using genome-wide analyses.

This study shows noncognitive skills become more predictive of academic achievement over time and their genetic contribution increases with age.

This study identifies genetic overlaps between psychiatric disorders, language ability, and creativity through a GWAS of school grades.

This meta-analysis quantifies the heritability of neurodevelopmental disorders and their genetic overlap with co-occurring conditions, using over 4 million children and adolescents.

This study investigates genetic and environmental influences on 57 psychological traits in emerging adulthood using UK twins, finding significant genetic contributions and their associations with health and educational outcomes.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with antisocial behavior through a genome-wide association meta-analysis, finding significant links to FOXP2 and correlations with multiple health and behavioral traits.

The paper introduces a gamified cognitive ability measure, Pathfinder, which shows heritability and genetic prediction of general cognitive ability.

This paper improves the prediction of behaviour problems using multi-GPS, cross-age and cross-rater composites, increasing predictive variance from less than 2% to up to 6%.

This study predicts alcohol use in young adults using polygenic scores, environmental factors, and their interactions, finding mainly direct effects rather than significant interactions.

This study conducts a genome-wide association meta-analysis of childhood aggression across multiple raters, instruments, and ages, identifying genetic correlations with various traits but no genome-wide significant SNPs.

This study investigates how polygenic scores and environmental factors jointly predict educational achievement, finding significant gene-environment correlation but no overall gene-environment interaction.

The paper investigates a general dimension of psychopathology (p factor) across childhood and adolescence, finding it highly heritable and genetically stable.

The paper uses genome-wide association study summary statistics to predict cognitive traits in children, showing 11% variance in intelligence and 16% in educational achievement at age 12-16.
