{"product_id":"ability","title":"Ability","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1926, the first part of this book attempted to formulate a theory of ability in the light of recent experimental results of the time. It discusses the nature of intelligence and the problem of special abilities, and includes a study of some typical forms of genius. The second part gives an account of a three years' experimental study of special abilities in arts and science respectively, carried out upon university students. Samples of the tests employed are included. The results are presented in non-technical form. Victoria Hazlitt was a pioneer of experimental psychology, which was particularly significant as a woman in the early twentieth century. In many cases her work anticipated later developments in psychology by many years. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Psychology Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50021650137338,"sku":"9781848722514","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_38050c85-5a87-4a7f-b8e0-7e9b07196f90.jpg?v=1786139031","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/ability","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
