The 'Flynn effect' refers to the massive increase in IQ test scores
over the course of the twentieth century. Does it mean that each
generation is more intelligent than the last? Does it suggest how
each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn is
finally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligence
really is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. This
expanded paperback edition includes three important new essays. The
first contrasts the art of writing cognitive history with the
science of measuring intelligence and reports data. The second
outlines how we might get a complete theory of intelligence, and
the third details Flynn's reservations about Gardner's theory of
multiple intelligences. A fascinating book that bridges the gulf
separating our minds from those of our ancestors a century ago, and
makes an important contribution to our understanding of human
intelligence.
