Books on intellectual development typically separate development
into distinct developmental periods: the formation of intelligence
and basic cognitive skills that occurs until adolescence, and the
maintenance, decline, or improvement of these intellectual skills
across the adult life span. Robert Sternberg and Cynthia Berg have
integrated research on these two development periods, by bringing
together authors that provide a comprehensive overview to the major
approaches to intellectual development. Six approaches to
intellectual development are examined by authors who use the
perspective during childhood or during adulthood: psychometric,
Piagetian, new-Piagetian, information-processing, learning, and
contextual perspectives. Common themes arise within, and across,
particular perspectives, which suggests that a more unified view of
intellectual development may emerge as boundary lines betwen
perspectives and developmental periods diminish.
