“…As with the anthropometric variables, the study of growth curves of cognitive variables would be of interest. Unfortunately, we do not at present have measures of the same function over the whole age range from neonate to adult, although the Pacific Multifactor Tests may fill the job for the 2-to 6- year level (Meyers & Dingman, 1960;Meyers, Dingman, Orpet, & Attwell, 1962).…”

AFTER REVIEWING SOME CRITICISMS OF THE TWIN METHOD, PARTIAL REPLIES TO THESE ARE SUGGESTED. STATISTICAL METHODS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TWIN DATA ARE DISCUSSED, INCLUDING SOME NEW IDEAS ABOUT MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF TWIN DATA. THE REMAINDER OF THE PAPER SUMMARIZES RECENT TWIN STUDIES ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND SENSORY VARIABLES, PERCEPTUAL TASKS, MOTOR SKILL, COGNITIVE VARIABLES, AND PERSONALITY. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR GENETICS ARE GIVEN. (4 P. REF.)

This paper calls for the development of sequential models of cognition and personality as a way of adding process to the primarily structural concerns of current multivariate models. At the same time, it points to the results of factor analysis, particularly as summarized in a hierarchical extension of Guilford's structure‐of‐intellect system, as a source of component variables for such sequential formulations. The need to take into account personality, developmental, and environmental variables in these sequential models is also emphasized.
