Human Intelligence is the most comprehensive, current, and readable
textbook available today. Written by leading experts in the field, the
text includes IQ-test-based, biological, cognitive, cultural, and
systems-based perspectives. It also addresses genetic and
environmental influences, extremes of intelligence, group differences,
lifespan development, the relationship of intelligence and other
psychological attributes, and educational interventions. Specific
pedagogical features make the text ideal for teaching. Introductions
briefly preview what is to come in each chapter. Key terms and
concepts are bolded and defined in the text as they are introduced and
also found in a glossary at the end of the book. Chapter summaries
highlight major points of each chapter, and comprehension and
reflection questions help students check their understanding of the
material they have just read. Each chapter also includes a 'Focus on
Contemporary Research' box that describes in vivid detail the chapter
author's current research. A rich program of tables, figures, photos,
and samples from research tools throughout help students understand
the material in a concrete way.
