Plomin's team calculated that in childhood, genes account for about 41 percent of the variation in intelligence.

Plomin 的团队计算出，在儿童时期，基因约占智力变异的 41%。

" People assume the genetic influence goes down with age because the environmental differences between people pile up in life, " says Robert Plomin.

“人们认为遗传影响会随着年龄的增长而减弱，因为人与人之间的环境差异在生活中不断累积，”罗伯特·普洛明 (Robert Plomin) 说。

Plomin suggests that genetic differences may be more emphasized if all children share an identical curriculum instead of it being tailored to children's natural abilities.

普洛明建议，如果所有孩子都使用相同的课程而不是根据孩子的天生能力量身定制课程，那么遗传差异可能会更加突出。

Plomin's team pooled data from six separate studies carried out in the US, the UK, Australia and the Netherlands, involving a total of 11,000 pairs of twins.

Plomin 的团队汇集了在美国、英国、澳大利亚和荷兰进行的六项独立研究的数据，共涉及 11,000 对双胞胎。
