一种新的智力观——塞西的智力生物生态学模型述评

A NEW VIEWPOINT ON INTELLIGENCE: A CRITICAL INTRODUCTION OF CECI' S BIOECOLOGICAL MODEL OF INTELLIGENCE

美国心理学教授塞西在对传统智力心理测量学理论批评的基础上于 1990年提出了信息加工取向的智力的生物生态学模型。这一模型主要有四个基本假设 ,即智力是一个多种资源系统 ;生物潜能与环境力量的相互作用 ;适宜的“最近过程”是智力发展的“引擎” ;把“动机”整合到智力发展中。塞西智力的生物生态学模型为我们揭示人的智力的本质提供了一个新的视角。

Stephen J. Ceci, an American psychological professor, proposed the information-processing-oriented Bio-ecological Model of Intelligence which was based on criticizing the traditional psychometric models in 1990. The bio-ecological model contains four assumptions, namely, a), intelligence is viewed as a multiple resource system, b) from the very beginning of life there is an interplay between biological potentials and environmental forces, c) 'proximal processes' are the engines of intellectual development, d) the role of motivation in determining how much is one' s context aids the actualization of one' s potential. This model gives us a new perspective for revealing the nature of human's intelligence.
