The Nature of Intelligence and Its Development in Childhood Paperback / softback
by Robert J. Sternberg
Part of the Elements in Child Development series
Paperback / softback
Description
In this Element, I first introduce intelligence in terms of historical definitions.
I show that intelligence, as conceived even by the originators of the first intelligence tests, Alfred Binet and David Wechsler, is a much broader construct than just scores on narrow tests of intelligence and their proxies.
I then review the major approaches to understanding intelligence and its development: the psychometric (test-based), cognitive and neurocognitive (intelligence as a set of brain-based cognitive representations and processes), systems, cultural, and developmental.
These approaches, taken together, present a much more complex portrait of intelligence and its development than the one that would be ascertained just from scores on intelligence tests.
Finally, I draw some take-away conclusions.
