Table 1. Sections, subtests of the Heidelberg test and corresponding skills
Table 2. ANOVA results, two subsamples of twins (one twin in the first subsample, the other in the second subsample)
Note. Subscript 1 — subsample 1 consisting of first members of twin pairs; subscript 2 — subsample 2 consisting of second members of twin pairs; Femp — empirical value of the F-test; p — the exact level of statistical significance.
Table 3. Averaged phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlations, subtests of the Heidelberg test, samples of twins from families with high and medium mothers' ES
Note. Top of the table — data on twins from families with high maternal ES, lower part of the table — data on the sample from families with medium maternal ES. First line in each cell — phenotypic correlations, second line - genotypic correlations, third lines — environmental correlations. Dash means correlations could not be calculated. Hereinafter, levels of statistical significance: * — p < 0.05; ** — p < 0.01; *** — p < 0.005; **** — p < 0.001.
Table 4. Averaged intra-individual and intra-pair cross-correlations. MZ twins, high ES of mothers
Note. Top of each cell contains averaged intra-individual cross-correlations, bottom — averaged intra-pair cross-correlation.
