Nature of Intelligence and Its Development in Childhood

In this Element, I first introduce intelligence in terms of historical definitions. I then review the major approaches to understanding intelligence and its development. These approaches, taken together, present a much more complex portrait of intelligence and its development than would be ascertained just from scores on intelligence tests.
