Gene-by-preschool interaction on the development of early externalizing problemsElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 54:77-85. 2013..Preschool involves an array of new social experiences that may impact the development of early externalizing behavior problems over the transition to grade school...- Early childhood cognitive development and parental cognitive stimulation: evidence for reciprocal gene-environment transactionsElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, USA
Dev Sci 15:250-9. 2012..These results suggest that genetic influences on cognitive development occur through a transactional process, in which genetic predispositions lead children to evoke cognitively stimulating experiences from their environments... - Preschools reduce early academic-achievement gaps: a longitudinal twin approachElliot M Tucker-Drob
University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA
Psychol Sci 23:310-9. 2012..Lower socioeconomic status was associated with lower rates of preschool enrollment, which suggests that the very children who would benefit most from preschools are the least likely to be enrolled in them... - Intellectual interest mediates gene × socioeconomic status interaction on adolescent academic achievementElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station A8000, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
Child Dev 83:743-57. 2012..These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that higher SES affords greater opportunity for children to seek out and benefit from learning experiences that are congruent with their genetically influenced intellectual interests... - Individual differences methods for randomized experimentsElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, University Station A8000, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
Psychol Methods 16:298-318. 2011.... - Emergence of a Gene x socioeconomic status interaction on infant mental ability between 10 months and 2 yearsElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA
Psychol Sci 22:125-33. 2011..At age 2 years, genes accounted for nearly 50% of the variation in mental ability of children raised in high-SES homes, but genes continued to account for negligible variation in mental ability of children raised in low-SES homes... 
Global and domain-specific changes in cognition throughout adulthoodElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, TX, USA
Dev Psychol 47:331-43. 2011....- Neurocognitive functions and everyday functions change together in old ageElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
Neuropsychology 25:368-77. 2011..g., paying bills, following medication instructions, making change, looking up telephone numbers in a phone book) are unaffected by these changes... - The cognitive reserve hypothesis: a longitudinal examination of age-associated declines in reasoning and processing speedElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4400, USA
Dev Psychol 45:431-46. 2009..These results suggest that cognitive reserve reflects the persistence of earlier differences in cognitive functioning rather than differential rates of age-associated cognitive declines... - Adult age trends in the relations among cognitive abilitiesElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4400, USA
Psychol Aging 23:453-60. 2008..Contrary to the dedifferentiation hypothesis, there was no evidence for systematic increases in the magnitudes of relations among cognitive abilities. Conventional analytic procedures replicated these findings... - Implications of short-term retest effects for the interpretation of longitudinal changeTimothy A Salthouse
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4400, USA
Neuropsychology 22:800-11. 2008.... - Combining nonlinear biometric and psychometric models of cognitive abilitiesElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, P O Box 400400, Charlottesville, VA, 22904 4400, USA
Behav Genet 39:461-71. 2009..We then reanalyze data from the National Collaborative Perinatal Project, previously used by Turkheimer et al. (2003; Psychol Science), with a two-step method to model both phenomena... - Genetically influenced change in sensation seeking drives the rise of delinquent behavior during adolescenceK Paige Harden
Department of Psychology, The University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station A8000, Austin, Texas 78712, USA
Dev Sci 15:150-63. 2012..These results suggest that developmental changes in delinquent behaviors during adolescence are driven by a genetically governed process of personality change... - Correlated longitudinal changes across linguistic, achievement, and psychomotor domains in early childhood: evidence for a global dimension of developmentMijke Rhemtulla
Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin, USA
Dev Sci 14:1245-54. 2011..A common factor accounted for 42% of the individual differences in change. These results suggest that a global dimension underlies substantial proportions of cognitive and psychomotor development... - Individual differences in the development of sensation seeking and impulsivity during adolescence: further evidence for a dual systems modelK Paige Harden
Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station A8000, Austin, TX 78703, USA
Dev Psychol 47:739-46. 2011..Together, these results constitute the first support for the dual systems model of adolescent development to derive from longitudinal behavioral data... - Differentiation of cognitive abilities across the life spanElliot M Tucker-Drob
Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904 4400, USA
Dev Psychol 45:1097-118. 2009..These findings are particularly informative about the nature of individual differences in cognition and about the developmental course of cognitive ability level and structure... - Broad bandwidth or high fidelity? Evidence from the structure of genetic and environmental effects on the facets of the five factor modelDaniel A Briley
Department of Psychology and Population Research Center, University of Texas at Austin, 108 E Dean Keeton Stop A8000, Austin, TX 78712 0187, USA
Behav Genet 42:743-63. 2012..Research at the facet level, rather than the factor level, is likely to have pragmatic advantages in future research on the genetics of personality... - The Texas twin projectK Paige Harden
