Preschool IQ - Sarah H. Broman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Preschool IQ - Sarah H. Broman - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1975, this volume reports a multidisciplinary, longitudinal study of the precursors of intelligence, as measured by Stanford-Binet IQ scores, of 4-year-old children. Over 26, 000 children (more than 12, 000 whites and 14,000 blacks) were followed from the prenatal period, and 169 prenatal and developmental variables were examined in relation to preschool IQ scores. Considered are the degree to which events during pregnancy and delivery, physical and psychomotor development in infancy and childhood, and certain major family characteristics were related to IQ scores. The large, heterogeneous sample of children studied prospectively and the wide range of biological and social variables investigated made this work of major importance at the time. The level of maternal education and the socioeconomic status of the family were major contributors to explained variance in IQ, and had larger effects among whites than among blacks. Other findings relate low IQ at age 4 to delayed motor and mental development in infancy. Many other factors thought to affect IQ scores, both individually and in combination, are reported, to make this a work of importance to all concerned with the neurological and mental development of the child.

IQ in Question - Michael J. A. Howe - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

IQ in Question - Michael J. A. Howe - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`In this remarkably economical, clear and informed book, Mike Howe... sets about unravelling the formidable semantic, logical and empirical knots into which IQ testers and their supporters have tied themselves.... Howe suggests that we have, for decades, been asking the wrong kinds of questions. He points to the number of alternative, theoretically richer, views of human intelligence that don′t reduce all to a single dimension... this is rendered with an easy, readable style which assumes no previous technical knowledge′ - British Journal of Educational Psychology In this provocative and accessible book, Michael Howe exposes serious flaws in our most widely accepted beliefs about intelligence. He shows that crucial assumptions are simply wrong and have had destructive social consequences. IQ is real enough, but the common idea that a quality of intelligence is the underlying cause of people′s differing abilities is based on poor science as well as faulty reasoning. Offering a powerful case for a better understanding of human intelligence, IQ in Question contradicts erroneous and destructive claims such as: IQ tests provide a measure of inherent mental capacities; intelligence and `race′ are linked; IQ measures are good predictors of a person′s success; intelligence cannot be changed; there is a `gene for intelligence′; and low IQ always means restricted capabilities.

IQ and Human Intelligence - Nicholas (emeritus Professor In The Department Of Experimental Psychology Mackintosh - Bog - Oxford University Press -

IQ and Human Intelligence - Nicholas (emeritus Professor In The Department Of Experimental Psychology Mackintosh - Bog - Oxford University Press -

The question ''What is intelligence?'' may seem simple to answer, but the study and measurement of human intelligence is one of the most controversial subjects in psychology. For much of its history, the focus has been on differences between people, on what it means for one person to be more intelligent than another, and how such differences might have arisen, obscuring efforts to understand the general nature of intelligence. These are obviously fundamental questions, still widely debated and misunderstood. New definitions of intelligence and new factors affecting intelligence are frequently being described, while psychometric testing is applied in most large industries.IQ and Human Intelligence provides a clear, authoritative overview of the main issues surrounding this fascinating area, including the development of IQ tests, the heritability of intelligence, theories of intelligence, environmental effects on IQ, factor analysis, relationship of cognitive psychology to measuring IQ, and intelligence in the social context. The clear, accessible style and numerous explanatory boxes make this the ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology. Online Resource CentreThe Online Resource Centre to accompany IQ and Human Intelligence features the following resources:For registered adopters of the text:- Figures from the book, available to downloadFor students:- Hyperlinks to primary literature articles cited in the and ''Further Reading'' sections of the book

Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Language - James Bogen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Language - James Bogen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 2005. This book studies the often overlooked work of Ludwig Wittgenstein''s Tractatus Logio-Philosophicus, the Tractatus and their later work being argued as being mutually illuminating. Bogen states that the works of Wittgenstein require a study of their points of contact which led to the formation of this title. This is accomplished by studying the text in two parts: its relevance to picture theory, the subsequent abandonment of the picture theory.

Race and IQ - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Race and IQ - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Ashley Montagu, who first attacked the term ''race'' as a usable concept in his acclaimed work Man''s Most Dangerous Myth, offers here a devastating rebuttal to those who would claim any link between race and intelligence.In now classic essays, this thought-provoking volume critically examines the terms ''race'' and ''IQ'' and their applications in scientific discourse. The 24 contributors - including such eminent thinkers as Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Lewontin and Jerome Kagan - draw on fields that range from biology and genetics to psychology, anthropology and education. What emerges in piece after piece is a deep scepticism about the scientific validity of intelligence tests, especially as applied to evaluating innate intelligence, if only because scientists still cannot distinguish between genetic and environmental contributions to the development of the human mind. Five new essays have been included that specifically address the claims made in the recent, highly controversial book, The Bell Curve.

Intelligence and Intelligence Testing - John Hattie - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Intelligence and Intelligence Testing - John Hattie - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Have you ever wondered what IQ is and how it is measured? Why is there such a premium placed on high IQ? What do we mean by intelligence? What does your IQ score mean? There can be no denying the enduring appeal of IQ over the last century. It is probably one of the most misunderstood yet highly researched psychological constructs ever. Such has been the controversy surrounding this topic that it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. Intelligence and Intelligence Testing is a text that aims to address that. This book examines the controversial psychological construct that is IQ, discussing and reviewing the history and current status of the research on intelligence and providing an overview of its development, measurement and use. From Galton, Spearman and Binet to the relatively recent controversy caused by the research of Herrnstein and Murray, this important book makes a major claim about the importance today of ‘problem solving on demand’ as one of the key components of today’s notions of intelligence. Chapters include coverage of: - - Intelligence and schooling; - - - Cultural differences in views of intelligence; - - - The history of IQ testing and its emergence into public consciousness; - - - IQ as predictor of educational and occupational outcomes; - - - Psychometrics and measurement of intelligence; - - - The future of intelligence research. - Written by Richard B. Fletcher and John Hattie, the author of the highly-regarded Visible Learning , this textbook will be invaluable for all undergraduate and Masters level students studying the theory of intelligence and the impact of testing on educational. Detailed and annotated further reading lists and a glossary of terms are also included.

Intelligence, Race, And Genetics - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Intelligence, Race, And Genetics - Frank Miele - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele, renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence, tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen''s views on general intelligence (the g factor), racial differences in IQ, cultural bias in IQ tests, and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness, Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy, such as Affirmative Action. ''Jensenism'' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences, has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless, Intelligence, Race, and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen''s conclusions.

Survival of the Smartest - Johannes Ziegler - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Survival of the Smartest - Johannes Ziegler - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Drawing on the innovative concept of Organizational IQ and a study of companies in seventeen countries, Survival of the Smartest charts a course for managers to follow into the twenty first century. At the heart of the book is the authors'' assessment tool of an organization''s future health, which they call Organizational IQ. It measures a company''s ability to quickly process information and make effective decisions. As industry clockspeeds accelerate everywhere, a high IQ has become a prerequisite for survival. Low IQ companies that the authors studied, on the other hand, have already vanished. Case studies form Hewlett-Packard, British Petroleum, Sun Microsystems and Chrysler, among others, illustrate how companies can improve their Organizational IQ. How did Hewlett-Packard become the dominant player in printing? How did British Petroleum transform itself from a stodgy behemoth into the most agile and competitive player in the oil industry? How did Chrysler rise from the brink of bankruptcy to become the auto industry''s prized asset? In these companies, technology by itself only played a secondary role: to be successful, the entire organization had to become smarter. The authors show how key strategic decisions turned around these companies'' Organizational IQ-and with it, their fortunes. A detailed company case study takes you in slow motion through the different steps you can take to improve the IQ or you own organization. Survival of the Smartest offers a rare blend of a coherent framework, in-depth company case studies, a sound research base, and a detailed, step-by-step implementation example. Based on a landmark study of 164 organizations worldwide, conducted as part of a partnership between Stanford University, McKinsey & Company and the University of Augsburg, Organizational IQ is proving to be the acid test for the success or failure of companies around the world. Haim Mendelson, PhD, is the James Irwin Miller Professor of Information Systems at the Stanford Business School, leader of the Technology, Organizations, and Markets area at the Stanford Computer Industry Project, co-director of the Stanford Executive Program on Strategic Uses of Information Technology, and a consultant to leading high-tech firms and financial institutions. Johannes Ziegler, PhD, is the cofounder of Synesis Management Consulting. Synesis helps senior executives in leading high-tech companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, 3Com, and Intuit, to measure and improve their Organizational IQs.
