Abstract: The central argument of this book is that cognition is not the whole story in understanding intellectual functioning and development. To account for inter-individual, intra-individual, and developmental variability in actual intellectual performance, it is necessary to treat cognition, emotion, and motivation as inextricably related.
Contents: Cognition in motivational and affective contexts -- Intelligence and personality : from psychometrics to personal dynamics -- Development of intellectual competencies -- Intellectual functioning and development in social and cultural contexts.
