This study focuses on three issues which have been recurrent in the
literature on intelligence during the last century: general
intellectual capacity; the g factor; and how to influence the
development of intelligence. The topics range from neuropsychology
to intelligence, personality and information processing.
Contributions by scholars from Canada, Europe and the United States
are included, representing diverse view points in the field of
research into the g factor and into the possibility of raising a
person's level of intelligence. The first chapter provides an
in-depth summary of research into differences between black and
white performances on psychometric mental ability tests, while the
second chapter provides a review of the research into race and sex
differences in brain size and cognitive ability. Other topics
covered include: the relationship between the g factor and infant
intelligence; the cognitive correlates of intelligence and
personality; an historical overview of the founders of the
scientific study of intelligence, Binet and Galton; and a review of
the mental speed approach. The volume concludes with a discussion
of the effects of intervention programmes on accelerating the
development of intelligence within the context of Piaget's criteria
for the assessment of durable training methods.
