A new study published in Research in Social Stratification and Mobility suggests that the transmission of cognitive ability from parents to children is primarily driven by genetics, with little influence from shared environmental factors like family resources.
The findings challenge traditional assumptions in social mobility research that often attribute these correlations primarily to socio-economic status.
Study finds little evidence for environmental transmission that occurs through parental cognitive ability specifically.
However, the researchers emphasized that this does not mean parents play no role in their children’s development.
Non-shared environmental factors, such as differences in peer groups, extracurricular activities, can play a significant role in cognitive development.
