This is a longer than usual post because there is an article and two responses. All are available as open text. Unlike some of my posts that try to offer immediately helpful information, this one is more historical and theoretical, but, in my view, has important implications. First, Ackerman (2023) published “Intelligence … moving beyond the lowest common denominator” in American Psychologist. Here’s the highly edited article with some information in bold:

Andersen, Kiverstein, Miller & Roepstorff (2022) published “Play in Predictive Minds: A cognitive theory of play” in Psychological Review.

Orth. & Robins (2022) published “Is High Self-Esteem Beneficial? Revisiting a classic question” American Psychologist, 77(1), 5-17.
