Mathematical ability is influenced by genes and environment. This study focused on the effect of DRD2, a candidate gene for working memory, on mathematical ability. The results in child participants revealed associations between the DRD2 gene and mathematical ability. It was found that individual's mathematical ability was influenced by Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in DRD2, both in the form of haplotypes and in the way of interaction with parental education. These findings suggest that dopaminergic genes are linked to mathematical ability. This study provides evidence for the genetic basis of mathematical ability and offers guidance for personalized intervention in mathematical education.
数学能力受基因和环境的影响。本研究专注于 DRD2 基因(工作记忆的候选基因)对数学能力的影响。在儿童参与者中的研究结果揭示了 DRD2 基因与数学能力之间的关联。研究发现,个体的数学能力受到 DRD2 中单核苷酸多态性(SNPs)的影响,这些影响既表现为单倍型的形式,也表现为与父母教育相互作用的方式。这些发现表明,多巴胺能基因与数学能力有关。本研究为数学能力的遗传基础提供了证据,并为数学教育的个性化干预提供了指导。
