智力作为美国社会科学和教育研究的隐秘一角,即将破门而出,走到大众中去。过去,人们一度将它视作少数人才会有的一组智能,似乎证明世界上的绝大多数人原本既非聪明伶俐又愚不可教的。于是,被认为具有高智力的人只是极少数,大多数美国人因而被置于十万八千里之外,更不敢奢谈智力ABC了。近几年来,有关智力的一个新定义已被人们所广泛接受,它在人的认识的组成部分中涉及的智能领域极为广泛。可以预料,这种观念上的改变,必将对社会和教育的发展产生深远的影响。 As a hidden corner of American social science and education research, intelligence is about to break out and reach the general public. In the past, once regarded as a set of intelligence that a few people would have, it seemed to prove that the overwhelming majority of people in the world were neither clever nor foolish at all. As a result, only a very small number of people are considered to have high intelligence, most Americans are thus placed thousands of miles away, and even less talk about intellectual ABC. In recent years, a new definition of intelligence has become widely accepted, and it covers a very wide area of ​​intelligence in the components of human cognition. It can be expected that such a change in concept will surely have a profound impact on the development of society and education.
