Numerous functions, cognitive skills, and behaviors are associated
with intelligence, yet decades of research has yielded little
consensus on its definition. Emerging from often conflicting
studies is the provocative idea that intelligence evolved as an
adaptation humans needed to keep up with - and survive in -
challenging new environments. The Handbook of Intelligence
addresses a broad range of issues relating to our cognitive and
linguistic past. It is the first full-length volume to place
intelligence in an evolutionary/cultural framework, tracing the
development of the human mind, exploring differences between humans
and other primates, and addressing human thinking and reasoning
about its own intelligence and its uses. The works of pioneering
thinkers - from Plato to Darwin, Binet to Piaget, Luria to
Weachsler - are referenced to illustrate major events in the
evolution of theories of intelligence, leading to the current era
of multiple intelligences and special education programs. In
addition, it examines evolutionary concepts in areas as diverse as
creativity, culture, neurocognition, emotional intelligence, and
assessment. Featured topics include: The evolution of the human
brain from matter to mind Social competition and the evolution of
fluid intelligence Multiple intelligences in the new age of
thinking Intelligence as a malleable construct From traditional IQ
to second-generation intelligence tests The evolution of
intelligence, including implications for educational programming
and policy. The Handbook of Intelligence is an essential resource
for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and professionals
in developmental psychology; assessment, testing and evaluation;
language philosophy; personality and social psychology; sociology;
and developmental biology.
