Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of individual differences in human ability as well as how those abilities might improve with practice. The author conducted a study with twenty-two subjects who were measured on a battery of tasks that ranged from color naming to mental multiplication. Over six weeks, the tasks were repeated with each subject, allowing the researcher to determine not only the initial ability of each individual, but also their ability to improve. The results of the study were surprising: high initial ability did not necessarily preclude great improvement. The ability to complete certain cognitive tasks was found to be unique to the task, not necessarily correlating to the ability to complete other, similar tasks. In fact, power of improvement was not found to correlate strongly with any other ability. This challenges the idea that an individual with a high IQ, as measured by a typical intelligence test, would also display high ability in all other cognitive tasks. The research suggests that human cognition is much more specialized and complex.
