For example, if a child’s IQ is similar to that of his or her parents, is that similarity due to genetic factors passed down from parent to child, to shared environmental factors, or (most likely) to a combination of both? It is clear that both environmental and genetic factors play a part in determining intelligence. A person’s environment and genes influence each other, and it can be challenging to tease apart the effects of the environment from those of genetics. Factors related to a child’s home environment and parenting, education and availability of learning resources, and nutrition, among others, all contribute to intelligence. Intelligence is also strongly influenced by the environment. It is likely that a large number of genes are involved, each of which makes only a small contribution to a person’s intelligence. These studies have not conclusively identified any genes that have major roles in differences in intelligence. Other studies have examined variations across the entire genomes of many people (an approach called genome-wide association studies or GWAS) to determine whether any specific areas of the genome are associated with IQ. These studies suggest that genetic factors underlie about 50 percent of the difference in intelligence among individuals. Many of these studies have focused on similarities and differences in IQ within families, particularly looking at adopted children and twins. Researchers have conducted many studies to look for genes that influence intelligence. Many studies rely on a measure of intelligence called the intelligence quotient (IQ). Elements of intelligence include the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, and understand complex ideas. Most definitions of intelligence include the ability to learn from experiences and adapt to changing environments. Intelligence is challenging to study, in part because it can be defined and measured in different ways. Like most aspects of human behavior and cognition, intelligence is a complex trait that is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
