This volume presents research from a variety of perspectives on the
enhancement of human intelligence. It is organized around five
themes - enhancement via instruction; enhancement via development
(over the life cycle); enhancement over time; enhancement via new
constructs; and new directions in enhancement. Three key issues are
addressed:
*First, although most of the scientific research on intelligence
has concerned what it is, this volume attends to the consequential
societal and economic issue concerns of whether it can be
increased, and how.
*Second, intellectual enhancement is particularly important when
targeted to minorities and the poor, groups that have typically
performed relatively less well on intelligence and achievement
measures. This volume reflects the education community's ongoing
interest in understanding, and attempting to close, achievement or
test score gaps.
*Third, most of the attention to examining intellectual
enhancement, and in accounting forand closing the test-score gap,
has focused on general cognitive ability. In line with the current
emphasis on considering intelligence from a wider perspective, this
volume includes constructs such as emotional and practical
intelligence in definitions of intellectual functioning.
"Extending Intelligence: Enhancement and New Constructs" is an
essential volume for researchers, students, and professionals in
the fields of educational psychology, intelligence, educational
measurement and assessment, and critical thinking.
