The importance of transfer for understanding intelligence, cognition, and education has been debated for a century, as it has been one of the central theoretical issues in psychology, education, and cognition.

This volume is divided into two parts with an extensive introduction presenting a selective history of the attempts to change cognitive abilities. The first part deals with programs which have attempted to raise IQ by intensive intervention. The second part focuses on attempts to improve specific cognitive skills.
