What is intelligence? How can we examine individual differences in
intelligence? What does it mean to be very intelligent or dumb?
Such questions have always pervaded human thinking, and have been
raised during the development of scientific psychology. However,
for many years, the practical needs of having reliable measures of
intelligence have prevailed and the field has suffered the
limitations of the psychometric approach. Recently, cognitive
neuroscience, and in particular cognitive psychology, have proposed
new models and data which have revived thinking in this area. This
Special Issue offers examples of how the field of cognitive
psychology can contribute not only to the refinement of theoretical
thinking but also to the development of new tools for the study of
human intelligence. The contributors to the issue are prominent
researchers in working memory, speed of processing, executive
functions, language, and intellectual development/decline and show
how their lines of research may contribute key concepts and methods
to the field. Different ideas and lines of research within
cognitive psychology are presented, but, working memory, despite
some contra-indications discussed throughout the issue, emerges
from many chapters as the most important contender for the study of
central aspects of intelligence.
