1. What we know about intelligence from the weight of studies What is intelligence? Do you know it when you see it? Defining intelligence for empirical research The structure of mental abilities and the g-Factor Alternative models Focus on the g-Factor Measuring intelligence and IQ - Some other intelligence tests Myth : intelligence tests are biased or meaningless The key problem for "measuring" intelligence Four kinds of predictive validity for intelligence tests Why do myths about intelligence definitions and measurement persist? 2. Nature more than nurture : the impact of genetics on intelligence The evolving view of genetics Early failures to boost IQ "Fraud" fails to stop genetic progress Quantitative genetic findings also support a role for environmental factors Molecular genetics and the hunt for intelligence genes Seven recent noteworthy studies of molecular genetic progress 3. Peeking inside the living brain : neuroimaging is a game-changer for intelligence research The first PET studies Brain efficiency Not all brains work in the same way What the early PET studies revealed and what they did not The first MRI studies Basic structural MRI findings Improved MRI analysis yield consistent and inconsistent results Imaging white matter tracts with two methods Functional MRI ((fMRI) The Parieto-frontal Integration Theory (PFIT) Einstein's brain
