Abstract
This is a follow-up study aiming to describe personality development of twins and possible differences at different ages. The investigation was conducted at the Mother Clinic in the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. This report describes the language development of 35 twin pairs at 9 months of age. The development values show that no greater differences exist for girls between twins and singletons. The language result is however lower. The boys, on the other hand, have considerably lower results both on total development scale and on the language scale.Keywords
