Aesthetics and the Embodied Mind: Beyond Art Theory and the Cartesian Mind-Bo…

Handbook of Intelligence: Evolutionary Theory, Historical Perspective, and Cu…
Numerous functions, cognitive skills, and behaviors are associated with intelligence, yet decades of research has yielded little consensus on its definition.
