Author: James R Flynn

Professor James Flynn is one of the most creative and influential psychologists in the field of intelligence. The ‘Flynn Effect’ refers to the massive increase in IQ test scores over the course of the twentieth century and the term was coined to recognize Professor Flynn’s central role in measuring and analyzing these gains. For over twenty years, psychologists have struggled to understand the implications of IQ gains. Do they mean that each generation is more intelligent than the last? Do they suggest how each of us can enhance our own intelligence? Professor Flynn is finally ready to give his own views. He asks what intelligence really is and gives a surprising and illuminating answer. This book bridges the gulf that separates our minds from those of our ancestors a century ago. It is a fascinating and unique book that makes an important contribution to our understanding of human intelligence.

What Is Intelligence Beyond the Flynn Effect 1st Table of contents:

  • 1. The IQ gains: a global picture

    • A review of the magnitude and consistency of the Flynn Effect across various nations and test types.

  • 2. The great debate over the IQ gains

    • Examines the various hypotheses proposed to explain the gains, from nutritional changes to better schooling.

  • 3. The g-loadedness of the gains

    • Discusses whether the IQ gains are just an increase in a narrow skill set or an increase in general intelligence (g).

  • 4. Dissecting the IQ gains

    • Breaks down the gains into specific subtest scores (e.g., fluid vs. crystallized intelligence).

  • 5. Stratifying mental skills

    • Introduces the concept of stratifying cognitive skills, moving away from a simple g-factor model.

  • 6. The rise of fluid intelligence

    • Focuses on the significant gains in fluid intelligence and abstract problem-solving abilities.

  • 7. Why the great IQ gains?

    • Explains the author’s primary hypothesis: that the modern world’s emphasis on abstract thought, scientific reasoning, and complex tasks has driven the gains.

  • 8. The cognitive revolution

    • A broader look at how the modern world has transformed cognitive habits and skills.

  • 9. What the gains do not imply

    • Addresses common misconceptions, such as whether people are now “smarter” in every sense, and discusses the implications for real-world intelligence.

  • 10. Toward a new theory of intelligence

    • Presents Flynn’s proposed “D-model” of intelligence, which stratifies mental skills in a hierarchical way.

  • 11. The D-model and mental skills

    • Applies the D-model to various cognitive abilities and real-world performance.

  • 12. The future of intelligence

    • Speculates on whether the Flynn Effect will continue and what future cognitive changes might look like.
