  "If you have these genetic risk factors for math anxiety and then you have negative experiences in math classes, it may make learning that much harder. It is something we need to account for when we're considering interventions for those who need help in math." The study appears online in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and will be published in a future print edition.
Paper Context: Moreover, genetic and environmental variance in reading comprehension did not account for variance in MA. Specifically, the pathway from the genetic factor (A2) and nonshared environment factor (E2) was only significant to reading comprehension (A = .87, E = .49), but not to MA (A = . 13, E = .07).
