Developmental associations between traits: covariance and beyond.
Statistical associations between phenotypic traits often result from shared developmental processes and include both covariation between the trait values and more complex associations between higher moments of the joint distribution of traits. In this article, an analytical technique for calculating the covariance between traits is presented on the basis of (1). the distribution of underlying g...
متن کاملDifferences in Associations Between Activity Type and Developmental Outcomes
The current study examined associations between organized activity involvement, academic achievement, and problem behavior in a sample of youth from a non-agricultural based rural community (Mage = 15.26, Age range = 11-19 years, N = 456). Analyses examined whether associations varied as a function of adolescent gender and age. Participants reported their involvement in a broad range of organiz...
متن کاملDevelopmental associations between traits of autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a genetically informative, longitudinal twin study.
BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and associated subclinical traits, regularly co-occur with one another. However, the aetiology of their co-occurrence remains poorly understood. This paper provides the first genetically informative, longitudinal analysis of the interaction between traits of ASD and ADHD, and explores their genetic an...
متن کاملInterdependence of Autistic Traits Within and Beyond the Spectrum INTERDEPENDENCE OF AUTISTIC TRAITS WITHIN AND BEYOND THE SPECTRUM Detail-Oriented Cognitive Style and Social Communicative Deficits, within and beyond the Autism Spectrum: Independent Traits that Grow into Developmental Interdependence
At the heart of debates over underlying causes of autism is the “Kanner hypothesis” that autistic deficits in social reciprocity, and a cognitive/perceptual „style‟ favouring detail-oriented cognition, co-vary in autistic individuals. A separate line of work indicates these two domains are normally distributed throughout the population, with autism representing an extremity. This realisation br...
متن کاملDecoupled phenotypic variation between floral and vegetative traits: distinguishing between developmental and environmental correlations.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In species with specialized pollination, floral traits are expected to be relatively invariant and decoupled from the phenotypic variation affecting vegetative traits. However, inferring the degree of decoupling between morphological characters from patterns of phenotypic correlations is difficult because phenotypic correlations result from the superimposition of several sou...
