Avis de l'équipe
Distinguished Scottish psychologist Ian J. Dreary packs a plethora of information in this succinct yet tremendously insightful 125-page primer that explores the limits of human mental capacity, addresses the biological, environmental, and genetic factors that influence a person’s intelligence, and provides a glimpse into the evolving field of psychometrics.
Ray Chase’s pleasant and sprightly tone will engage the listener from the first line of this enriching listen aimed at the layperson interested in learning more about his fascinating area of study.
Description
For people with little or no knowledge of the science of human intelligence, this volume takes listeners to a stage where they are able to make judgments for themselves about the key questions of human mental ability. Each chapter addresses a central scientific issue but does so in a way that is lively and completely accessible. Issues discussed include whether there are several different types of intelligence, whether intelligence differences are caused by genes or the environment, the biological basis of intelligence levels, and whether intelligence declines as we grow older.
