Zusammenfassung
First published in 1987. Since the 1960s, we have witnessed a remarkable resurgence of interest in the psychology of human intelligence. In the late 1960s, research in the field of intelligence seemed to have gone into at least partial remission. But today, a large number of investigators are pursuing active research programs concerning human intelligence. Advances in the Psychology of Human Intelligence, of which this is the fourth volume, contains chapters by leaders in the field that document the progress being made toward understanding human intelligence.
