we use the term temperament to describe personality traits in
children because they are less influenced by the environment. Temperament is also used for animals
these 3 are quantitative traits
hence influenced by env. and
also by many genes. They are
normally distributed, so the
ends of the curve, would be
unique and abnormal. Normal
would be where most people
lie between.

Document Summary
Lecture 8 objectives: genetic influences on normal behavior. Intelligence: genes underlying intelligence, personality, genes underlying personality these 3 are quantitative traits hence influenced by env. and also by many genes. They are normally distributed, so the ends of the curve, would be unique and abnormal. Normal would be where most people lie between. Behavioral development we use the term temperament to describe personality traits in children because they are less influenced by the environment. Sexual behavior: genetic influences on sexual behavior, genetic influences on cognitive deficits, mental retardation, trisomy, microdeletion. Lecture 8 objectives: genetic influences on cognitive deficits, dementia, alzheimer"s disease, vascular dementia, parkinson disease, lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia. Normal behavior: most human behaviors are quantitative traits, influenced by multiple genes, highly effected by environmental variables, have a normal distribution" pattern, allows to define the normal range of expression for a trait.
