The quot;nature versus
nurturequot; controversy dates back to at least the nineteenth century.
How much of a role does genetics or environment play in accounting for
reasoning skill and other intellectual aptitudes? At a time when the
public school system in the United States is under attack, this debate
has taken center stage in arguments about what accounts for differences
in academic achievement. Maximizing Intelligence convincingly argues
that, while both genetics and environment play a role in a child's
intelligence, environmental factors, especially at an early age, are of
primary importance. Working from this premise, Armor suggests how
intelligence may be heightened. Armor presents four propositions about
intelligence. His first is that intelligence exerts a major influence on
educational and occupational success, following a chronological
sequence, from a child's cognitive skills learned before school, to
academic success during the school years, to eligibility for college.
His second proposition is that intelligence can be changed, at least
within limits. There is ample evidence that a child's intelligence is
not fully given at birth, but continues to evolve and change at least
through the early elementary school years, although at a declining rate.
Proposition three is that intelligence is influenced by a series of
quot;risk factors,quot; and most of the influence occurs before a child
reaches school age. Risk factors include parent intelligence and
education, family income, family structure and size, nutrition, and
specific parenting behaviors. The fourth proposition flows from the
second and third - that the most promising avenues for maximizing
intelligence come from a child's parents. Armor persuasively argues for a
quot;whole familyquot; approach whereby government programs are
modified or created to inform parents of risk factors and to reward
behaviors that optimize positive outcomes. Maximizing Intelligence is
meticulously researched and reasoned, and will be welcomed by
researchers in education, sociology, psychology, social theory, and
policy studies.
