This paper discusses the relationship between culture and intelligence. The main message of the paper is that intelligence cannot fully or even meaningfully be understood outside its cultural context. Behaviour that is considered intelligent in one culture may be considered unintelligent in another culture, and vice versa. Moreover, people in different cultures have different implicit (folk) theories of intelligence, so may not even mean the same thing by the word. The relationships between different aspects of intelligence can vary across cultures, with correlations that are positive in one setting proving to be negative in another. The paper opens with a general discussion of issues regarding the relationship between the two concepts. It then describes the theory of successful intelligence, which motivates our work on the interface between culture and intelligence. Finally, the article draws some conclusions.
The paper by Meyer-Lindenberg and colleagues in this issue of Neuron provides strong evidence that the absence of one or more genes in Williams syndrome leads to highly circumscribed pathology in the dorsal visual stream. This program of research demonstrates that neurocognitive architecture follows the same principles in typical and atypical development.
