Ken Richardson Boeken

In his latest book, Genes, Brains, and Human Potential, Richardson has again creatively illuminated the bases and limitations of genetic reductionist accounts of human intelligence, showing how cutting-edge research provides a valid alternative to such counterfactual and egregiously flawed models. Informative and inspiring, he convincingly counters these failed accounts of intelligence, forwarding a new relational theory of human development. Richard M.

This accessible book explains the origins and evolution of intelligence, for everyone curious about the concept, and suspicious of IQ. Enlightened by the most recent research, it encourages readers of all levels to think more clearly about issues in development and education, and the debates and controversies surrounding the subject.

Focusing on the various models of knowledge and reasoning, this text seeks to establish a unified framework of principles for understanding their development. By exploring different theoretical perspectives, it aims to bridge the gaps between existing theories and promote a more cohesive understanding of how knowledge and reasoning evolve.
