Amsterdam: Elsevier, Date: 2006. Hardcover. Very good/Good +. Hardcover. 9 3/4" X 6 1/2". xi, 272pp. Mild rubbing, creasing, and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Gentle bumps to corners and edges of yellow cloth over boards. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Mental Chronometry (MC) comprises a variety of techniques for measuring the speed with which the brain processes information. First developed in mid-1800, MC was subsequently eclipsed by more complex and practically useful types of psychometric tests stemming from Alfred Binet. This class of mental tests, however, has no true metric relating the test scores to any specific properties of the brain per se. The scores merely represent an ordinal scale, only ranking individuals according to their overall performance on a variety of complex mental tasks. The resulting scores represent no more than ranks rather than being a true metrical scale of any specific dimension of brain function. Such an ordinal scale, which merely ranks individuals in some defined population, possesses no true scale properties, possessing neither a true zero or equal intervals throughout the scale. This deficiency obstructs the development of a true natural science of mental ability. The present burgeoning interest in understanding individual differences in mental abilities in terms of the natural sciences, biology and the brain sciences in particular, demands direct measures that func ...
