Six‐variate model to which the data were fitted. For simplicity, only the diagram for Twin 1 is shown. The additive genetic components A1 to A6 of Twin 1 are connected to those of Twin 2 with a correlation of 1 in MZ twins and 0.5 in DZ twins. The nonadditive genetic components D1 to D3 of Twin 1 are connected to those of Twin 2 with a correlation of 1 in MZ twins and 0.25 in DZ twins. The common environmental components C4 to C6 of Twin 1 are connected to those of Twin 2 with a correlation of 1 by definition for both MZ and DZ twins. For i in {1,6}, Ai represents the additive genetic factor acting on trait i. Di represents the dominant genetic factor acting on trait i. Similarly, Ci represents the common environmental factor acting on trait i and Ei represents the unique environmental factor acting on trait i. The additive and dominant genetic effects were combined to compute broad heritability of the individual traits as ( a112 +  d112)/( a112 +  d112 +  e112) for network measure at Wave 1 and ( a212 +  d212 +  a222 +  d222)/( a212 +  d212 +  e212 +  a222 +  d222 + e222) for network measure at Wave 2. A phenotypic correlation between IQ and network measures at, for example, Wave 1 was defined as (a 11 × a 41 + e 11 × e 41)/√( a112 +  d112 +  e112) × √( a142 +  a242 +  a342 +  a442 +  c442 +  e142 +  e242 +  e342 +  e442). Furthermore, a (broad sense) genetic correlation between the broad sense genetic factors was computed as (a 11 × a 21 + d 11 × d21)/(√( a112 +  d112) × √( a212 +  d212 +  a222 +  d222)
