New study maps how parental traits shape cognitive skills in gifted children

A new study in the Journal of Intelligence reveals how parental traits influence gifted children's cognitive strengths. Maternal conscientiousness linked to children's perceptual reasoning, while fathers' short-term memory correlated with working memory. Maternal processing speed proved the strongest predictor of children's processing speed, suggesting domain-specific influences.
