INTELLIGENCE - THE NEW LOOK

Recent work on the biological basis of intelligence has forced psychol ogists to reconsider the definition and conceptualization of ''intelli gence'' widely accepted during the last fifty years. Work with the ele ctroencephalograph, the averaged evoked potential, reaction time and o ther largely physiological and non-cognitive measures has resurrected the conception of intelligence which originated with Sir Francis Galto n, and has posed great problems for the conceptualization beginning wi th A. Binet, and still widely accepted.
