Summary
This chapter discusses the possibility of increasing intelligence by instruction. It considers the question of whether increasing intelligence should be a goal of education, assuming that intelligence can be taught. It then considers the question of whether intelligence can be taught. It reviews several organized attempts to teach intelligence, and proposes a perspective for viewing such attempts, given the mixed results they have produced.
