| Models of Intelligence for the Next Millennium APA Conference June 14 - June 18, 2000 Click here to Register http://www.yale.edu/rjsternberg/register.htm Conference Organizers Robert J. Sternberg, Professor of Psychology, Yale University, APA member Jacques Lautrey, Professor of Psychology, University of Paris V, France Todd Lubart, Assistant Professor, University of Paris V, France, APA International Affiliate The Models of intelligence for the next millennium conference is valuable because this past century has been marked by important advances in theory and research on intelligence. Some of the first modern work on intelligence and its measurement began at the start of the century with Alfred Binet, in Paris and was followed by contributions from researchers in England, the United States to understand intelligence. Recent developments such as new methods for analyzing brain activity, advances in artificial intelligence, and new models and research techniques from cognitive psychology have already begun to yield a better comprehension of specific aspects of intelligence. The goal of the conference is to take account of recent work on intelligence and to chart a research agenda for theory and empirical research that builds on a century of accumulated knowledge. The proposed conference will be organized around four themes for which work on intelligence has progressed recently. The first theme is the reinterpretation of the concept of intelligence within cognitive science. Specific topics include information processing models of intelligent behavior, contributions of artificial intelligence to models of intelligence, the role of working memory and inhibitory mechanisms in intelligence, and contributions from neuroscience. The second theme concerns the expansion of the concept of intelligence. A number of researchers have gone beyond the idea that intelligence is essentially academically-focused capacities, which was Binet's original conception. Topics for this theme will include creative intelligence, emotional intelligence, and cross-cultural approaches to intelligence. The third theme is the development of intelligence. Both the development in children and throughout the adult lifespan will be addressed. Recent modeling techniques such as connectionism and dynamic systems as well as new theories such like the vicariance model will be highlighted. Research on intelligence from the field of behavioral genetics will be examined. Finally, the fourth topic is the education of intelligence. Recent work on learning potential, intellectual stimulation in schools, and cognitive training for individuals with deficits will be covered. We have a set of invited speakers plus we are inviting posters from interested attendees. We can accommodate a maximum of 60 posters, so if you are interested, please let us know at once. We would need a 300-word description of what the poster would describe by April 1, 2000.
