Dr Stuart Ritchie
Ritchie writes about the concept of intelligence: explaining how it is measured and tested, and why it matters, drawing on the most up-to-date research in the field and various arguments about what intelligence is, its nature and its measurement.
Arguing that social class is a causal factor in IQ scores, Ritchie sees the potential for education in enabling social mobility by helping clever pupils to overcome a disadvantaged start in life.
He gives readers practical advice, with reading lists of influential books on intelligence; key websites; examples of commonly used IQ tests; and profiles of current intelligence researchers, including their specialist areas. He also lists key historical works on intelligence and dispels a number of myths surrounding the concept.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
