Если интеллект отвечает на вопрос «насколько у человека мощный когнитивный аппарат», то адаптивность отвечает на вопрос «насколько устойчиво он функционирует под давлением и насколько быстро восстанавливается». В популярной литературе адаптивность считается едва ли не главным фактором жизненного успеха. Данные показывают более скромную, фрагментированную и в нескольких ме Read more ›
