Abstract
Teachers often seek unifying themes that help students develop an inte grated and coherent mental representation of the course material. With out such themes, material that seems integrated to the teacher often c an be disparate and incoherent to the student. In the study of cogniti ve psychology, the theme of intelligence provides a powerful way of un ifying the disparate material of a wide-ranging course.
