11 - Lifespan Development of Intelligence
from Part III - Theories on the Development of Intelligence
Summary
Lifespan approaches to intelligence must consider several issues. How many types of intelligence should be considered? Do different types of intelligence develop in different ways? What can developmental perspectives suggest about individual differences in intelligence? What are the causes of intellectual development at different points of the lifespan? In this chapter, we’ll look at each of these important questions in turn. But first we need to consider the underlying worldviews or metatheories about development that play a role in how people think about intelligence and how it changes over the life course.
