With the advent of developmental behavioral genetics--and molecular genetics--researchers have taken their discoveries far beyond simple nature\/nurture constructs to a finer understanding of how genes and environment intersect to affect cognitive function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eBehavior Genetics of Cognition across the Lifespan\u003c\/i\u003e presents the state of the field in well-documented detail as noted experts examine gene-environment interactions in cognitive function from childhood into old age. Fluidity is at the heart of this coverage: normative and non-normative brain development get equal attention, and statistical, molecular, biological, brain imaging, and neurobiological approaches contribute separately and in combination to the findings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll major life stages are examined as periods of gene-based cognitive change, including midlife, which until recently has been considered a period for marking time until \"real\" age-related change occurs. And the book is written so that individual chapters can be as useful on their own as the volume is as a whole.
