For example, patients with schizophrenia exhibit difficulties in sensorimotor gating [ 14 ] , smooth pursuit eye-tracking [ 15 ] , set-shifting [ 16 ] , and working memory tasks [ 17 ] . Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit abnormal performance in sustained attention tasks [ 18 ] and studies on autism reveal slowed covert orienting of visual spatial attention [ 19 ] . Patients with Alzheimer's disease show covert orienting deficits in visual attention tasks [ 20 ] . Interestingly, many of these disorders show familial patterns of inheritance and increased concordance in monozygotic (MZ) vs. dizygotic (DZ) twins suggesting genetic origins [ 21 ] .
, differential treatment accorded to first- versus second-born twins, and to monozygotic versus dizygotic twins [6]); and (e) lack of data on male twins; in addition, the small number of women twins who were concordant on adult working class position limits generalizability (but not internal validity) of results.
Most often it is estimated by comparing monozygotic and dizygotic twins [ 34 ] . Although there remains controversy in how purely genetic these calculation are [ 35 ] and the best way compute heritability [ 36 ] we chose to calculate heritability in two ways.
Additionally, the greater magnitude of variability in outcomes among dizygotic compared to monozygotic twins within the same socioeconomic strata is what would be expected, given the tighter matching on genetic endowment among the monozygotic twins [3–5].
Even so, generalizability of results to nontwins could be hampered if twins differ systematically from nontwins on factors influencing associations between socioeconomic position and adult health, as perhaps related to maternal and zygotic characteristics relevant to risk of monozygotic or dizygotic twinning or to exposures contingent upon being a twin in utero (e.g.
