This work attempted to ascertain the biometrical properties of a population of a more general type than has hitherto been examined, inheritance in which follows the Mendelian scheme of inheritance, hoping that in this way it will be possible to make a more exact analysis of the causes of human variability.

239 Citations1980Robert Plomin, J. C. DeFries
These extensive data point to less heritable influence on IQ than is indicated by the widely cited older data, and suggest that more of the environmental influences for parents and offspring and for older siblings operate within families than between families.
American Journal of Physical AnthropologyBrain size and intelligence in man
238 Citations1974Leigh Van Valen
Although estimates of brain weight are useless in prediction of individual intelligence in man, the available data suggest that the real correlation may be as high as 0.3, which seems overly difficult to estimate directly the relationships among brain weight, intelligence, and fitness.

221 Citations1978Oscar Kempthorne
The conclusion is that the heredity-IQ controversy has been a "tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" and the idea that there are racial-genetic differences in mental abilities and behavioral traits of humans is, at best, no more than idle speculation.

219 Citations1948Read D. Tuddenham
The data presented in this study offer no proof, but are inclined to interpret them as indicating that the present population is superior in mental test performance to the population of a generation ago, and that a large proportion of this superiority is a consequence of more and better education for more people.

At follow-up in 1976, low-income children who had attended infant and preschool programs in the 1960's had significantly higher rates of meeting school requirements than did controls, as measured by lower frequency of placement in special education classes and of being retained in grade.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesEstimation of the limits of heritability of traits by comparison of monozygotic and dizygotic twins.
146 Citations1967Arthur R. Jensen
This paper has three aims: to present a new formula for extracting heritability estimates from twin data, to show the results of the application of the formula to data from past studies of the heritability of intelligence, scholastic achievement, personality traits, and physical characteristics, and to urge that heritability Estimates be obtained in all large-scale educational testing programs.
ScienceThe Cyril Burt Question: New Findings
143 Citations1978Donald D. Dorfman
A detailed analysis of data presented in Cyril Burt's classic paper "Intelligence and social mobility" reveals that they were fabricated from a theoretical normal curve, from a genetic regression equation, and from figures published more than 30 years before Burt completed his surveys.

81 Citations1970Arthur R. Jensen
New analysis of the original data from the four largest studies of the intelligence of monozygotic twins reared apart leads to conclusions not found in the original studies or in previous reviews of them, indicating that magnitude of differential environmental effects is not systematically related to intelligence level of twin pairs.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesDiet, genetics, and mental retardation interaction between phenylketonuric heterozygous mother and fetus to produce nonspecific diminution of IQ: Evidence in support of the justification hypothesis
68 Citations1978Samuel P. Bessman, Malcolm L. Williamson +1 more
The justification hypothesis proposes that mental retardation develops during the late stage of fetal development, as a result of the inability of the mother to deliver an appropriate amount of that nonessential amino acid to her fetus who, in turn, is unable to correct for this deficiency due to his genetic constitution.
Harvard Educational ReviewHas Compensatory Education Failed? Has It Been Attempted?
68 Citations1969Jasmine Hunt
Professor Hunt fails to find satisfactory evidence that the authors may make the assertions about genetic differences determining the intelligence of Negroes and whites which Jensen has offered, and offers an alternative hypothesis that they must provide rich post-natal experience in order to develop the inherent structures of the brain.

It is believed that the PKU gene has a more direct action on (or in) at least certain ganglion cells, lowering the verbal IQ slightly, but significantly, than previously thought.

41 Citations1979O Thalhammer, Gert Lübec +1 more
Intracellular phenylalanine and tyrosine was determined in lymphocytes of 19 heterozygotes (parents) for PKU and in 26 randomly collected apparently normal persons, and it is argued that this could be responsible for the slight, though statistically significant, intellectual inferiority of heterozygotic persons.

The formation of an abnormal unknown intracellular metabolite being the real noxious agent could explain the incomparably different degrees of brain dysfunction in individuals with equal though elevated intrACEllular phenylalanine concentrations, i.e., homozygotes and heterozygotes for PKU.
