SOCIAL CONTEXT AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT -- CHAPTER 1 Why a Treatise on Intelligence? -- CHAPTER 2 Toward an Inductive Theory of Intellectual Complexity -- CHAPTER 3 Mismatches Between Intelligent Performance and IQ -- CHAPTER 4 A Social-Organizational Analysis of Intellectual Development -- CHAPTER 5 The Impact of Schooling on Intelligence -- PART TWO THE BIOECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK -- CHAPTER 6 The Role of Context in Shaping Multiple Intelligences -- CHAPTER 7 A Model of Cognitive Complexity -- CHAPTER 8 The Fallacy: Biology = IQ = Intelligence =Singularity of Mind =Real-World Success -- CHAPTER 9 How Abstract Is Intelligence? -- CHAPTER 10 Taking Stock of the Options -- Epilogue -- Endnotes -- References -- Subject Index
Summary: Ceci argues that traditional conceptions of intelligence ignore the role of society in shaping intelligence and underestimate the intelligence of non-Western societies. He puts forth a "bio-ecological" framework of individual differences in intellectual development that is intended to address some of the major deficiencies of extant theories of intelligence. The focus is on alternative interpretations of phenomena that emerge when implicit assumptions of intelligence researchers are challenged.
