Does it mean that each generation is more intelligent than the last? Does it suggest how each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn is finally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligence really is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. This expanded paperback edition includes three important new essays. The first contrasts the art of writing cognitive history with the science of measuring intelligence and reports data. The second outlines how we might get a complete theory of intelligence, and the third details Flynn's reservations about Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. A fascinating book that bridges the gulf separating our minds from those of our ancestors a century ago, and makes an important contribution to our understanding of human intelligence. 606 $aIntellect 615 0$aIntellect. 676 $a153.9 700 $aFlynn$b James R$g(James Robert),$f1934-$0714789 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455325603321 996 $aWhat is intelligence$92449376 997 $aUNINA
