It is the first full-length volume to place intelligence in an evolutionary\/cultural framework, tracing the development of the human mind, exploring differences between humans and other primates, and addressing human thinking and reasoning about its own intelligence and its uses. The works of pioneering thinkers – from Plato to Darwin, Binet to Piaget, Luria to Weachsler – are referenced to illustrate major events in the evolution of theories of intelligence, leading to the current era of multiple intelligences and special education programs. In addition, it examines evolutionary concepts in areas as diverse as creativity, culture, neurocognition, emotional intelligence, and assessment.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eFeatured topics include:\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe evolution of the human brain from matter to mind\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial competition and the evolution of fluid intelligence\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple intelligences in the new age of thinking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligence as a malleable construct\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom traditional IQ to second-generation intelligence tests\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe evolution of intelligence, including implications for educational programming and policy. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, clinicians, and professionals in developmental psychology; assessment, testing and evaluation; language philosophy; personality and social psychology; sociology; and developmental biology.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493934935\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-1562-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 498\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477420896396,"sku":"9781493934935","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493934935.jpg?v=1779061356","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493934935","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
