No one doubts that intelligence develops as children grow older. Yet, the concept of intelligence has proved both quite difficult to define in unambiguous terms and unexpectedly controversial in some respects. Although at one level, there seem to be almost as many definitions of intelligence as people who have tried to define it, there is broad agreement on two key features. That is, intelligence involves the capacity to not only to learn from experience but also to adapt to one’s environment. However, we cannot leave the concept there. Before turning to what is known about intelligence development, it is necessary to consider whether we consider the growth of one or many skills. That question has been tackled in rather different ways by psychometricians and by developmentally.
