Oliver Wilhelm, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology at
Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany. He earned his doctoral degree
in 2000 from the Universeity of Mannheim and subsequently worked at
the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, and at the University
of Arizona in Tucson. His research focuses on individual
differences in working memory, reasoning, and mental speed.
Additional research interests are in intellectual engagement,
openness for new experiences, and cognitive failures and how these
traits relate to various abilities. He is also doing
experimental work on deductive reasoning and working memory.
Randall W. Engle received his Ph.D. in 1973 from Ohio
State University, where his mentor was D.D. Wickens.
Following a 21 year tenure at the University of South Carolina, he
moved to Atlanta, where he took the position of Professor and Chair
of the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of
Technology. He has published numerous papers and book
chapters exploring the properties of attention and working memory
capacity and their relationship to intelligence. Together
with faculty colleagues across the globe, the Engle team, including
former doctoral students and post docs, continues to pursue the
nature of working memory capacity using micro-analytic
experimental studies and macro-analytic factor analysis studies.
"This volume provides an in-depth yet accessible and up-to-date
review of the key topics pertinent to current intelligence
research. This state-of-the-art summary about our theoretical
understanding of human abilities and their measurement is of
interest for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in
psychology, education, and related disciplines. It′s a great
summary and a good read on a truly important topic."
*Dr. Heinz Holling*
"Wilhelm and Engle have compiled a highly informative set of
chapters on various topics related to intelligence. The chapters
describing recent European work will be especially informative for
North American readers. The work is strengthened by provision of
review chapters that keep the reader in sight of the forest rather
than the trees."
*Earl Hunt*
"...it is extremely useful and contemporary, covering among its
five hundred pages, genetics, neuro-imaging and emotional
intelligence. It also provides a good indicator of current
psychological work in the area with empirical evidence and theory
sitting alongside each other. The material on meta-cognition
would, I suspect, be of most interest to philosophers, along with
the more basic questions concerning the nature of memory and
intelligence."
