Cognitive, Non-Cognitive, and the Genetics In Between: Perline Demange on Skills, Schooling, and Psychopathology

What do we mean when we talk about "non-cognitive skills," and what does genetics tell us about them? In this episode, our hosts visited Perline Demange to talk about the genetic architecture of cognitive and non-cognitive skills — how they relate to educational attainment, where they overlap with personality and psychopathology, and what that could tell us about the genetics of doing well in school. And also - what on earth do Christmas Elves have to do with it?
