About this title

Synopsis

The most often used yet least understood aspect of human development must surely be that of intelligence. This study will provide an up-to-date and readable introduction to some of the many complex issues which concern this aspect of learning and development. Intended for those concerned with the developing abilities of children, the study is a primer and an introduction not only to the concept of intelligence itself but also to the technical and to the educational aspects of the subject. David Pyle brings together and critically discusses various views of intelligence, including the psychometric, the developmental and the behavioural, and also examines recent innovatory work on the subject, including new methods of assessing intelligence and controversial evidence on the effects of environment on IQ scores. An extensive further reading list is provided for those who wish to extend their knowledge further.
