      <Abstract>Processing speed is one of the most essential fundamentals of cognitive abilities. The present investigation formulated with the aim of basis of genetic and environment on processing speed of cognitive abilities of twins. 100 pairs of twins with the age group 6-8 years were selected from two districts namely: Bhiwani (N=90) and Hisar (N=110) from the Haryana state. The processing speed of cognitive abilities of twins was measured using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- Revised (WISC-R). Heritability estimate was used to analyze the genes expression on processing speed cognitive abilities of twins. The result stated that the heritability estimates for processing speed cognitive abilities of twins were 64 percent and 59 percent in Bhiwani and Hisar districts respectively. The correlation coefficient among monozygotic and dizygotic twins for processing speed cognitive ability of twins was r=0.77 and r=0.45 in Bhiwani district and in Hisar district the correlation coefficient was monozygotic twins (r=0.71) and dizygotic twins (r=0.42). The result also revealed that the monozygotic twins were more correlated in processing speed cognitive abilities as compared to dizygotic twins. The processing speed cognitive abilities were more influenced by genetic basis as compared to environmental factors.</Abstract>
