Differential psychology, or the psychology of individual
differences as it is better known, is perhaps the single most
important basic psychological science that underlies professional
practice in psychology. The recent age of behaviorism all but
ignored individual differences, but in this decade the study has
emerged from relative dormancy with a new vitality, fueled by new
concepts, technologies, statistics, and new viewpoints on old ideas
that are moving us forward. This work is intended to be a review of
as well as a primer on many of these advances and new approaches to
the study of individual differences. The venerable, interesting,
and often controversial Eysenck opens the volume with a review of
recent results and new techniques for unlocking the physiological
basis of what is commonly understood to be intelligence. Eysenck
and his students, in his London laboratory, have been fostering
advances in this field for more than four decades. Their latest
work could be the most exciting of Eysenck's illustrious, scholarly
career. Eysenck's eye-opening, innovative work on the relationship
between evoked potentials and performance on traditional
psychometric measures, presented with a new slant, is certain to
attract much attention in coming years. Eysenck and Barrett's
chapter is followed by a closely related work by Arthur Jensen, who
gives us a revitalizing look at the concepts of Sir Francis Galton,
the founder of the psychology of individual differences.
