The Biological Basis of Intelligence. Part II: Measurement

  • Chapter
A Model for Intelligence

Abstract

The preceding chapter has presented a detailed theory of the biological basis of intelligence. This chapter reports a major research study that was carried out in an attempt to verify some of the specific predictions made by the theory.
