Cognitive abilities: use of family data as a control to assess sex and age differences in two ethnic groups.

Four cognitive factors were extracted from test data obtained on 997 families (3,268 individuals) in Hawaii. Factor loading profiles for the two largest ethnic groups (Caucasians and Japanese) are nearly identical, as are profiles for three different age groups. Age curves are presented for factor scores and for four specific cognitive tests. The younger respondents on the age curves are biological offspring of older respondents represented on the same curves, facilitating an unusual control for between-family variance. When the data were stratified by ethnicity, differential rates of cognitive development were indicated.

Near identity of cognitive structure in two ethnic groups.

As part of a large-scale family study in Hawaii, Americans of either Japanese or European ancestry were administered a battery of 15 cognitive tests. Principal component analyses (varimax rotations) yielded the same four major cognitive factors for each of the two ethnic groups, and these factors are defined by strikingly similar factor loadings.

Brain sensitivity to alcohol in inbred mouse strains.

The voluntary selection of aqueous ethanol in preference to water has been studied in a number of animal species. A pharmacological phenomenon observed in all species, including humans, is depression of the central nervous system which eventually leads to "sleep." The sleeping time at a given concentration of alcohol in the brain depends on strain sensitivity.
