As most members of Division 5 know by now, the IR reviewed actions taken by the senior staff and leadership of APA, in collusion with members of the Department of De- fense (DOD), during the first half of 2005. These actions resulted in the issuance of loose, high-level ethical guidelines that: 1. Permitted military psychologists to participate in detainee interrogations, and 2.

    Islam Md. Nijairul, IJSRR 2018, 7(4), 1969-1982 Research article Available online www.ijsrr.org ISSN: 2279–0543 International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews Meaning and nature of human intelligence: A review Islam Md. Nijairul Gazole Mahavidyalaya, Malda, West Bengal, India. PIN 732124. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT How to define intelligence seems to be a conundrum with human race. People have been pondering over the nature of intelligence for millennia. Simply put, intelligence is the ability to learn about, learn from, understand and interact with one‟s environment. This mental ability helps one in the task of theoretical as well as practical manipulation of things, objects or events present in one‟s environment in order to adapt to or face new challenges and problems of life as successfully as possible. Some psychometric theorists like Spearman believed that intelligence is a basic ability that affects performance on all cognitively oriented tasks – from computing mathematical problems to writing poetry or solving riddles, and that it can be measured through IQ tests. On the other hand, cognitive theorists like Earl B. Hunt hold that intelligence comprises of a set of mental representations of information and a set of processes that can operate on the mental representations. The latest ones – cognitive-contextual theorists of intelligence such as Howard Gardner – think that cognitive processes operate in various environmental contexts. The present paper tries to understand the meaning and nature of human intelligence from various perspectives, development of intelligence, and its measurement. KEY WORDS: Intelligence, understanding, psychometric theory, cognitive theory, cognitive- contextual theory.

DIVISION OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT AND AGING A Division of the American Psychological Association PAST PERSPECTIVES 2 THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIVISION 20 by Betty Ann Birren and Liz Stine-Morrow (August, 1996) The American Psychological Association as we know it today, structured as a collection of special interest divisions, was formed in 1945 at the end of WWII. It contained 19 charter divisions. Division 20, which turned out to be the first expansion division of APA, was the inspiration of Sidney Pressey. In July 1945, he asked eight psychologists whether they thought that an APA division dealing with aging would be "desirable." They agreed that it would, and sent a petition to almost 600 APA members whom they thought might also be interested. This group (Pressey, Conrad, Lorge, Lehman, Lawton, Buhler, Kuhlen, Miles, and Wechsler) also published a statement about a potential new division on adulthood and old age in the Psychological Bulletin.
