"The authors have provided a succinct and accessible historical
account of theoretical and empirical approaches to the related
concepts of ability, aptitude and propensity....As an introductory
overview for educational researchers, with its illustrative
'Exhibit' boxes and appendix which explains terms used in
quantitative research, it is highly informative."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology"There are many reasons
to commend this book. First, taken as a whole, the chapters provide
a superb discussion of the landscape that an aptitude theory ought
to cover and the research methods likely to be required to develop
such a theory...Second, each chapter is solidly grounded in a
critical examination of key empirical findings...Third, the book
stays true to its intended purpose and target audience of young
researchers in training."
—Personnel Psychology
