Investigating Intelligence in Early Adolescence by David Elkind - 1980From the earliest days of psychology as a science there have
been two rather different approaches to human intelligence. One
of these, the developmental approach, has been concerned with
adolescent thought as a special type of mental activity worthy of
study in its own right. The other, the psychometric approach, has
with few exceptions seen adolescent thought as continuous with
intelligence in general and, therefore, undeserving of any special
attention.
Before turning to the developmental approach, which will be
the focus of concern for this chapter, we need to compare the two
positions to put the developmental position in proper perspective.To view the full-text for this article you must be signed-in with the appropriate membership. Please review your options below: | This article originally appeared in NSSE Yearbook Vol. 79, No. 1. |
