Book synopsis

Why are some people more mentally able than others - In an authoritative, critical and integrated series of review essays Professor Ian Deary inquires after the cognitive and biological foundations of human mental ability differences. Many accounts of intelligence have examined the structure and number of human mental ability differences and whether they can predict success in education, work and social life. Few books have taken psychometric intelligence differences as a starting point and brought together the reductionistic attempts to explain them. New to the highly acclaimed Oxford Psychology Series, Looking Down on Human Intelligence appraises the search for the origins of psychometric intelligence differences in terms of brain function parameters. The book provides an original and thought provoking guide to ancient and modern research on one of the most compelling questions in human psychology.
