Scientific Inquiry into Human Potential

Historical and Contemporary Perspectives Across Disciplines

Herausgegeben: Dai, David Yun; Sternberg, Robert J.

Beschreibung

Scientific Inquiry into Human Potential explores the intellectual legacy and contemporary understanding of scientific research on human intelligence, performance, and productivity. Across nineteen chapters, some of the most eminent scholars of learning and psychology recount how they originated, distinguished, measured, challenged, and adapted their theories on the nature and nurture of human potential over decades of scientific research. These accessible, autobiographical accounts cover a spectrum of issues, from the biological underpinnings and developmental nature of human potential to the roles of community, social interaction, and systematic individual differences in cognitive and motivational functioning. Researchers, instructors, and graduate students of education, psychology, sociology, and biology will find this book not only historically informative but inspiring to their own ongoing research journeys, as well.

Rezensionen

"Writing from their lifetime experiences as researchers, the contributors to this volume offer rich conceptions of human potential going beyond any single number or lucky gene."

-David Perkins, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"The study of human potential and related concepts is critically important to all areas of human endeavor, from education to business, from the arts to medicine, and everything in between. Dai and Sternberg have assembled a fascinating set of reflections in this volume, representing the work and thoughts of many of the top thinkers on human potential over the past several decades."

-Jonathan A. Plucker, Julian C. Stanley Professor of Talent Development, Johns Hopkins University
