A meta-analysis of 11,000 pairs of twins showed that heritability (A) of intelligence increases significantly from childhood (age 9) to adolescence (age 12) and to young adulthood (age 17). Estimates of shared environmental influence (C) decreased significantly from childhood to adolescence. Nonshared environment (E) showed no change. (From Haworth et al., 2010.)
