range of psychologists and to many people outside the discipline.
This overview of contributions to intelligence research covers the first
0066-4308/12/0110-0001$20.00
decade of the twenty-first century. There is a survey of some of the
major books that appeared since 2000, at different levels of expertise
and from different points of view. Contributions to the phenotype of
intelligence differences are discussed, as well as some contributions
to causes and consequences of intelligence differences. The major
causal issues covered concern the environment and genetics, and how
intelligence differences are being mapped to brain differences. The
major outcomes discussed are health, education, and socioeconomic
status. Aging and intelligence are discussed, as are sex differences in
intelligence and whether twins and singletons differ in intelligence.
More generally, the degree to which intelligence has become a part of
broader research in neuroscience, health, and social science is discussed.
