Cognitive ability research and practice in the work context are at a crossroads. Our established approaches have made tremendous contributions to understanding human behavior at work. However, their utility is being questioned at a time when cognitive ability is more important than ever for success in the modern world of work. This book offers an accessible introduction to a broad range of cognitive ability theories that have the potential to advance cognitive ability research and practice in work contexts. It addresses challenges to cognitive ability research and presents new directions for academics, practitioners, and professionals across organizational psychology, human resources, management, education, and testing. This book provides insights that will help modernize how cognitive ability is conceptualized, assessed, and applied in workplace contexts.
