Abstract

Intelligence is usually viewed as a trait that exists, in some way, “inside” the individual. In this essay, a distinction is made between general cognitive ability, which is an individual trait (that is nevertheless modifiable), and intelligence as adaptation. Intelligence as adaptation is not a personal trait, but rather an interaction between a person, the tasks the person confronts, and the situations in which the tasks are confronted. In different societies, and at different times, what is adaptive may differ and the cognitive skills that are important to intelligence may differ as well.

智能究竟是什么？徒劳地寻找圣杯

智力通常被视为以某种方式存在于个体 "内部 "的一种特质。在这篇文章中，我们要区分一般认知能力和作为适应的智力，前者是一种个人特质（但可以改变）。作为适应的智力并不是一种个人特质，而是一个人、他所面对的任务和任务所处的情境之间的相互作用。在不同的社会和不同的时代，适应性可能会有所不同，对智力很重要的认知技能也会有所不同。
